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.

Israel yesterday prevented an emergency Red Cross food convoy reaching Palestinians in the centre of Hebron, Sarah Helm reports from Jerusalem. About 3,000 Palestinians have run short of supplies owing to the curfew imposed after last month's mosque massacre. The International Committee of the Red Cross had prepared to deliver relief supplies early yesterday. Israel said the delivery might incite protests in the town, and demanded that it be postponed.
