According to Freedom and Justice Party in Egypt, at least 2200 people were killed and 10,000 injured on Wednesday in a crackdown that turned into a bloodbath after Egyptian military snipers and security forces stormed two huge Cairo camps of protesters demanding the reinstatement of deposed ousted president Mohamed Morsi, the first democratically elected president.

The daughter of Ammar Beltagi, head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice party Asma, 17-year-old was shot and killed in the Rabaa al-Adawiya sit-in in Nasr City.

Mr. Mick Deane, a veteran Sky News cameraman for the UK-based Sky News channel, and Habiba Ahmed Abed Elaziz, a 26-year-old staff reporter of XPRESS, a sister publication of Gulf News were shot and killed while covering clashes.

A state of emergency has been declared across Egypt. The state of emergency will begin at 4pm local time (14:00 GMT) and will last for a month, the statement said on Wednesday afternoon. A curfew has also been imposed in Cairo and nine other provinces, starting from 7 pm local (17:00 GMT) until 6 am (04:00 GMT).
