Egyptian security forces shot dead dozens of supporters of the ousted president Mohamed Morsi shortly after the army chief called for a popular mandate to wipe out “violence and terrorism”. Men in helmets and black police fatigues fired on crowds gathered before dawn on the fringes of a round-the-clock sit-in near a mosque in north-east Cairo, a stronghold of the Muslim Brotherhood.
A Brotherhood spokesman, Ahmed Aref, said 66 people had been killed and another 61 were “brain dead” on life-support machines. Egypt’s department of health said the official figure was 65 dead. More than 4,000 were treated for the effects of tear gas and gunshot or birdshot wounds, Mr Aref said. “Innocent blood was spilled,” he said. “We have gone back 10 years.”
Doctors working in nearby hospitals where the dead and wounded were taken described the shootings as a “catastrophe”. Ahmed Fawzy, a cardiologist who was working at the field hospital in eastern Cairo, described it as a “crime against humanity.”
By early morning there were 28 corpses lined up around the walls of the makeshift morgue. Some had been shot by single bullets to the head, said doctors; others perished after live rounds passed through their necks or chest. More bodies were hauled in later, as supporters of Mr Morsi continued to clash with Egypt’s central security services in the streets outside.
Doctors at the scene said they believed more than 100 people may have been killed. If initial estimates prove to be accurate, the massacre ranks as one of the worst single incidents of violence since the fall of Hosni Mubarak. Reports on al-Jazeera said that as many as 120 people may have been killed – a tally that chimes with testimony given to The Independent on Sunday from doctors at the scene.
