CAIRO, Aug 14 (Reuters) – The death toll from an Egyptian

police raid on supporters of deposed President Mohamed Mursi at

a Cairo protest camp has climbed to 60 at one hospital,

according to a nurse who said she counted the bodies.

“We have 60 bodies here and we are expecting the death toll

to rise,” said Nahla Haddad, adding that most of the casualties

had gunshot wounds to the head and chest.
