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.Children at a feeding centre in Wajir, northern Kenya, run by a French organisation, Action International Against Hunger, which gives them flour, beans, oil and maize. The US intends starting daily airlifts of food into Somalia today, but officials said that the planes would not land if gunmen started shooting. The first flight will be to the central town of Beletuen, where 75 per cent of the 200,000 population are malnourished because of the civil war and the worst drought this century.
