Bosnia appeal
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 INDEPENDENT today launches an appeal in support of charities working to alleviate the desperate sufferings of people in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
On page 10, we describe the work of some of the agencies operating in former Yugoslavia, from the British Red Cross and Save the Children, to smaller organisations such as Scottish European Aid.
For every donation readers make to one or more of them, the Independent will add 10 per cent, up to pounds 30,000.
Volunteers and staff of international relief agencies are redoubling efforts to help the 2.7 million people who are entirely dependent on aid as winter bites, with temperatures as low as minus 25C.
Bedding, clothing, plastic sheeting for shelter, food and medicine have got through to some towns, but not enough to meet demand. Roads are hazardous, and local commanders have prevented some deliveries.
