From Reuters:
Egyptian police fired teargas and rubber bullets on Wednesday at around 1,000 protesters in Sinai who accused the government of neglecting them after flash floods damaged their homes, witnesses said.
A security source said the demonstrators threw stones at police and blocked the road leading to the southern resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh from Ras Sedr, in South Sinai.
Relations between the government and Sinai, where there is a large Bedouin population, are often strained. The Bedouins complain of economic marginalisation, police harassment and limited access to jobs in the tourism and petroleum sectors.
“The protesters cut off the road leading to Sharm el-Sheikh with small trucks and set fire to the trucks’ tyres protesting at the delay of rescue aid,” the security source said.
The witnesses said police and protesters were injured during the clashes.
Several people died and many more were injured in Sinai and Aswan during three days of unusually heavy rain.
Although few homes were totally destroyed in the Sinai peninsula, the witnesses said protesters complained the water reached 2 metres high and they had not received any help.
I got this from P Coelho regarding Haiti.

Sinai is not about celebrities doing compensations, it is about work and donations….. CAN WE DO? #SINAI #SINAIFLOODS
