The numbers alone are dreadful. Journalists are being killed in the Israel-Hamas war at the rate of more than one every day since 7 October - at least 53 so far, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ.

This has been the deadliest period for journalists in the 30 years since the New York-based organization began keeping these dire statistics.
