What many are calling the iconic image of the past 24 hours:
From the Getty description of the scene captured by Mohammed Abdel Moneim:
An Egyptian woman tries to stop a military bulldozer from hurting a wounded youth during clashes that broke out as Egyptian security forces moved in to disperse supporters of Egypt’s deposed president Mohamed Morsi in a huge protest camp near Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque in eastern Cairo on August 14, 2013. The fate of the young man is not certain, but at the time of taking these photos he was seriously injured having been shot by birdshot. For further information refer to this link.
For more, photojournalist Mosa’ab Elshamy has published a powerful gallery of images he took during today’s crackdown. Below are some additional tweets since our last update:
