23-year-old freelance photographer Mosa’ab Elshamy has been covering events in Egypt since 2011; here’s his latest photoset on Flickr, from the massacre on Wednesday in Rabaa Al-Adaweya Square, where the new authorities’ attempt to clear the six-week pro-Morsi sit-in resulted in at least 250 deaths. Elshamy’s images are tremendous but difficult and NSFW.
