Eleven people died in clashes between pro- and anti-President Hosni Mubarak supporters in Cairo this week, Egypt's health minister said.

"The death toll from Tahrir incidents has increased to 11 after three died on February 4 after they were held in intensive care and their condition was critical," Ahmed Sameh Farid said.

Farid said around 5,000 have been wounded since massive protests broke out on January 25, Al Arabiya reported.
