Letter: A little girl's suffering points up UK's failure to act
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.Sir: Even last night as I watched the news, before I read your leading article 'One saved, but many remain' (10 August), I found my sentiments running along the same lines.
I was pleased to write in support of your call to save Sarajevo. However, what is the point of this cosmetic political gesture to save little Irma Hadzimuratovic's life when, in all probability, if the West does nothing, this child will have no home to return to?
Sentimental one-off actions like this don't wash, Mr Major - in fact, they stink. Why not act and improve life for all the children in Sarajevo?
Yours faithfully,
