CAIRO — At least 297 people have been killed since Egypt's anti-government uprising began two weeks ago, U.S.-based Human Rights Watch told The Associated Press on Monday.

The count is based on visits to seven hospitals in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez that included interviews with doctors and morgue inspections, said the group's Cairo researcher, Heba Morayef.

Egypt's Health Ministry has not given a comprehensive death toll, though a ministry official said they are trying to compile one.

The revolt against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak that erupted Jan. 25 brought days of fierce clashes. Protesters have clashed with police who fired live rounds, tear gas and rubber bullets and fought pitched street battles for two days with gangs of pro-Mubarak supporters who attacked their main demonstration site in Cairo's central Tahrir Square.

The violence has spread to other parts of Egypt and the toll includes 65 deaths outside the capital Cairo.

4. List Of The Dead:

From Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human Rights Watch, in Cairo:

Last Wednesday, February 2, we visited all the four morgues in Alexandria, to attempt to get a total number of those killed in the violence there on Friday, January 28. After a bit of discussion, the officials at the two main morgues agreed to give us the names of the bodies received there, and the two other morgues confirmed that they had transferred any bodies received at their morgue to the two main morgues. We found 52 deaths in Alexandria. The names are listed below, with some ages. There were a few names which were partly illegible, so the missing words are noted in []
