Qatar has joined regional giants Turkey and Iran in condemning the Egyptian junta's massacre today against protesters in Cairo, while the European Union said the development was "extremely worrying".
EU said reports that protesters had been killed in a security crackdown were "extremely worrying" and called for restraint from Egyptian authorities.
At least 94 people have been killed on Wednesday when they cleared a camp of Cairo protesters who were demanding the reinstatement of deposed President Mohamed Morsi, according to Al Jazeera's correspondent on the ground.
At least six members of the Egyptian security forces were shot dead, the state news agency reported.
"The reports of deaths and injuries are extremely worrying," Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said.
"We reiterate that violence won't lead to any solution and we urge the Egyptian authorities to proceed with utmost restraint."
Turkey's president Abdullah Gul branded the crackdown as "unacceptable".
