Deadly weekend in Egypt while tourism is still functioning

Despite hundreds killed in the streets of Cairo and Alexandria and travel warnings from many countries, including the US, UK and Indonesia tourism still functions in some parts of Egypt.

Today the Muslim Brotherhood puts the death toll at over 120 with over 4,000 injured across Egypt over the weekend.

Reuters news agency reported at least 80 people are dead and hundreds injured in Cairo after security forces attacked supporters of ousted President Morsi, Reuters reports quoting Egypt's Health Ministry. The death toll in Egypt's second-largest city Alexandria has risen to 10.

The casualties were taking part in a pro-Morsi rally when they were attacked by members of the security forces, the Brotherhood alleges. They used tear gas to disperse the activists, the Egyptian Interior Ministry has confirmed.

"They are not shooting to wound, they are shooting to kill," Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad said to Reuters, adding that demonstrators had been hit by gunshot in the head and chest.

During Friday night massive rallies were held in the Egyptian capital by Morsi supporters and his opponents. Egypt’s military has urged Brotherhood supporters to get behind their new plans for new elections.
