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 Syrian crisis has left hundreds of thousands of people displaced, with an estimated 2 million refugees who have fled from their homes.

The Zaatari camp in Jordan has become the country's fifth-largest city in terms of population due to the influx of Syrian refugees. There are around 130,000 people living in the camp in tough conditions.

Several aid agencies including Save the Children, Unicef and ActionAid are trying to help the refugees at the camp through medical and food supplies.

Gazal Rizq from Damascus-Syria is ActionAid aid worker at the camp, she shares her experiences of working in the camp through a selection of images.
