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.Britain is to provide an additional £4 million in aid for refugees displaced by the fighting in Syria, it was announced today.
Half the funding will go to humanitarian agencies working to provide medical assistance to people injured in the fighting. The rest will be distributed through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell said: "This new British support will ensure that thousands of people receive potentially life-saving help, whether injured as a direct result of the regime's violence against its own people or trapped by the fighting and denied the medicines they need.
"It will also help to meet the basic needs of hundreds of frightened families who have fled home with nothing."
