I thank all the witnesses. I especially thank our Ukrainian contributor who earlier outlined the tensions, torture and abuse the journalism community is facing in that region. I will ask a specific question straight off the bat just to get to those figures. Mr. Dawson outlined the average annual loss in terms of the journalism community in conflict areas is 80, while for 2023 it is in and around 130. I assume the increase in the figure is attributable to the conflict in Gaza.
