Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE INDEPENDENT'S Iraq Appeal has so far raised pounds 35,000 and the donations are still flooding in, writes Amanda Kelly.
We are now passing on the first instalment of money to CARE International UK and Medical Aid for Iraqi Children who are overseeing our delivery of cancer-treating medicines to the sick children of Iraq.
Both charities are experienced in overcoming the bureaucratic hurdles involved in importing supplies to Iraq and will ensure the drugs reach the children as quickly as possible.
CARE, a global relief and development organisation working in 63 countries, has run humanitarian projects in Iraq for the past seven years. Medical Aid for Iraqi Children was set up in 1984 with the specific purpose of alleviating the suffering of Iraqi children caused by the United Nations Sanctions.
Please send cheques, made out to The Independent Iraq Appeal, to PO Box No 6870, 1 Canada Square, London E14 5BT.
