384 killed in protests in Egypt

Protests in Egypt that led to the overthrow of former president Hosni Mubarak have left at least 384 people dead and 6,467 injured, according to health ministry figures published on February 22.

"The latest count based on information from hospitals and health offices has shown that 384 have been martyred (while) 6467 have been treated for injuries in hospitals," Health Minister Sameh Farid said in a statement.

A final death toll is yet to be announced, AFP quoted him as saying.

Demonstrations which erupted on January 25 demanding Mubarak's resignation saw fierce clashes between demonstrators and security forces, and later between supporters and opponents of the 82-year-old strongman.
