Gaza, Dec 21: At least 68 journalists have been killed in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon since the outbreak of war on October 7, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Wednesday.

The casualties include 61 Palestinians, four Israelis and three Lebanese, according to CPJ’s data, marking what it said was the deadliest period for journalists since it began gathering data in 1992.

Earlier this week, a United Nations agency said Gaza has become the most dangerous place in the world for journalists and their families.
