The Popular Current claimed on Thursday that members of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Central Security Forces prevented medical supplies from reaching injured people in Mansoura on Thursday morning.
In a post on the Popular Current’s official Facebook page, the group claim that the CSF had surrounded its headquarters on Wednesday night and continued to do so into Thursday morning. The group also claims that the CSF has been supported by what they describe as “Brotherhood militia,” led by local parliamentary candidate Saber Zaher.
The Popular Current says that the CSF and the “Brotherhood militia” prevented medical supplies and doctors from entering the makeshift field hospital. The group expressed the fear that this might put peoples lives at risk.
The Brotherhood was not available for comment.
