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.

MARJ ZOHOUR (Reuter) - Numbing cold and shellfire forced more than 400 Palestinians expelled by Israel back to a tent camp in south Lebanon's no man's land yesterday.

The deportees, who spent a fifth night stranded on a road between Lebanese and Israeli forces, retreated to their camp before dawn after three fell sick and a fourth was wounded by fire from Israeli-backed militiamen. The Palestinians said they had a narrow escape when a mortar bomb landed in a group of them on the road in the night but failed to explode.

They tried in vain on Monday to march back into Israeli-held territory but were met by warning shots, mortar bombs and tank-fire from the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army. Two of the deportees were wounded.
