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.Tamil refugees fleeing a Sri Lankan army assault were running out of food and water as relief shipments to the northern mainland remained stalled for the third week, aid workers and officials said.
The rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam accused the army of seeking to starve the 200,000 refugees. Aid workers who visited Tiger-controlled areas from Vavuniya, 215km north-east of Colombo, said lorries allowed by the Tigers to carry food and medicine from the government side of the border had not been loaded.
