Egypt today is terrible and tragic

Cairo freelance photographer Mosaab Elshami, risking his life, decided to document the situation that is now happening in the area of the Egyptian capital Rabaa. His pictures are amazing: cruelty, bloody corpses, devastation and garbage where mosques and houses were just recently. And although they are not going to evacuate tourists from Egypt yet, Rostourism strongly recommends refraining from traveling to the country in the near future.
