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.Doctors Without Borders have opened a reconstructive surgery in Jordan to treat the great number of war victims in the Middle East.
The aid group have gathered surgeons, counsellors and physiotherapists who specialise in treating victims of war.
They will all offer free treatment to the many civilians who have been wounded in civil or international conflicts across the Middle East.
Huda Abed is one of those who have benefitted from the surgery. She received serious facial injuries after being hit by a mortar shell and was told in Iraq that no doctor could treat her.
Upon arriving at the centre in Amman, Huda has had bone from her Pelvis removed in order to reconstruct her jaw. She is currently awaiting bone transplants to give her a new nose and new teeth.
