reza is live with the latest. >> reporter: it is eerily calm. it has a lot to do with the emergency law that went into effect last night. you can feel the cloud of uncertainty hanging over this city and this country a sense of dread after yesterday's awful events. many are describing what happened yesterday as a massacre. with the staggering death toll and increasingly it's going to be tough to dispute that. the death toll according to the health ministry, 400 killed, more than 3,500 injured. all of this the outcome of a ferocious crackdown by security forces targeting two pro-morsi sit-in demonstrations going on for six weeks. there are a lot of rumors going around that this crackdown would happen. 6:30 a.m. yesterday morning, it came. again, it came with ver osty. conflicting accounts of what happened. the interior ministry claiming their tried to move the protesters out using water cannons and tear gas. they say the protesters fired first and they had to retaliate. when you talk to supporters of morsi, they have a different story. they say se

and now, reza, we're hearing reports of tear gas and gunfire.l me what you're seeing and hearing right now. >> reporter: well, it's 8:00 p.m. local time. a curfew has been in effect for about an hour. it seems to have calmed things down in most neighborhoods around cairo. we're monitoring state tv. it looks like some activity taking place in a few neighborhoods. a building is on fire. so it looks like some protesters are still out. but this was another bloody and violent day where more egyptians were injured and more egyptians were killed. and it's becoming increasingly clear that this country is sliding deeper and deeper into turmoil and uncertainty. and what's even more worrisome is there's absolutely no sign of anyone coming up with a solution to end this conflict. there are conflicting death tolls. authorities say 17 people have been killed, at least. and 40 people have been injured. but that number seems low based on what we witnessed in only one neighborhood in cairo. that particular neighborhood earlier today, i counted at least 40 people

give us an update on where you are, reza, and what is happening in your view?> reporter: we're heading back to our office because a curfew will go into effect inless than an hour. we witnessed some awful scenes in this political crisis in egypt. it's escalating into a bloody fight where more and more egyptians are being injured and killed. this was a day when the muslim brotherhood and supporters of morsi called for mass demonstrations in response to wednesday's bloody crackdown against their demonstrations that led to hundreds of people being killed. it's their way of saying we're down but not out. we will continue to fight. these mass demonstration, these marches turned violent, we were in three locations in cairo where we heard sporadic gunfire. at times it sounded like automatic weapons. we couldn't see where the gunfire was coming from, but we can tell you on several locations we saw these demonstrators who were marching to a major square come under fire. it was civilians, residents who are against the former president who are firing on these demonstrators

reza is live in cairo this morning. been following this closely. is there any sign of the violence letting up? >> zoraida, you hate to see it, but there's no sign of the violence winding down. no street violence but we have seen horrible incidents and bloodshed in other forms. many fear this is what's coming in the weeks ahead unless something changes. first off this morning, 24 egyptian soldiers killed when their convoy was attacked in egypt's northern sinai peninsula. they have been plagued with militancy. the government suggested the attacks were carried out by elements linked to the muslim brotherhood. yesterday, at least 30 detainees were killed. some of them were supporters of the muslim brotherhood being transported with 600 other prisoners to a prison in northern cairo. there are conflicting accounts as to what happened. some officials say some of them tried to escape. others say they took a police officer hostage. at some point, a police officer shot tear gas into one of the vans. state media says 38 prisoners
