More than 100 people have been killed during anti-government protests that have swept Egypt, according to reports from medical sources, hospitals and witnesses.
There was no official figure, and the real figure may be very different, given the confusion on the streets.
On Januray 29 in Beni Suef, south of Cairo, police shot dead 17 people trying to attack two police stations and eight people were killed during protests. Eight others were killed in clashes when prisoners tried to escape from Abu Zaabal prison in Cairo.
Some 68 deaths were reported killed in Cairo, Suez and Alexandria during Friday's protests.
Before then, security sources had said at least six people, including a police officer, had been killed since the protests started on January 26.
Medical sources said that around 2,000 people had been wounded throughout the country, however with more protests erupting, that number was almost certain to rise.
The sources were unable to specify whether they were police or protesters.
