Amela Kurtowic returns to Bosnia after treatment in Britain
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.Four-year-old Amela Kurtowic returns home to Bosnia today, well on the way to recovery after treatment in Britain for extensive injuries sustained in a shelling explosion which killed most her family.
When Amela arrived last December she was unable to walk, and her treatment and recovery are largely thanks to the charity Child Advocacy International, whose work with Amela was partly funded by an Independent appeal. Child Advocacy is appealing to British companies and the public for support to continue its work with children who, like Amela, need help. Photograph: John Voos
