Reuters photographer Asmaa Waguih, pictured, was shot in the foot on Wednesday while covering an operation by Egyptian security forces to clear protesters in Cairo demanding the reinstatement of deposed President Mohamed Mursi.

She was taken to hospital.

Dozens of people were killed across Egypt as security forces clashed with protesters. Troops in the capital opened fire on demonstrators who had staged a sit-in for the past six weeks. ■
