The UN Security Council is due to meet in a closed emergency session to discuss the violence in Egypt, a day after over 600 people were killed by security forces closing in on Muslim Brotherhood protests.
Egypt is currently in a state of emergency with the interior ministry authorising police to use live ammunition in self-defence or when dealing with attacks on government buildings.
US President Barack Obama condemning the violence, announced the cancellation of joint military exercises with Egypt saying co-operation could not continue while civilians were being killed.
Coptic Christian churches have also suffered attacks over the week.
