Children of the supporters of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi wait for their turn to enter a large playground August 12, 2013 at the entrance of an ongoing sit-in protest camp at the Rabaah al-Adawiya square in the eastern Nasr City district of Cairo, Egypt. The crowd at the camp, made up of men, women and children from various anti-coup coalition groups remains defiant in spite of threats by security officials to forcibly break up the camps soon. Opposing groups and human rights organizations have criticized what they see as exploitation of the children for political gain and use of women and children as human shields in order to deter action by security froces against the sit-in.
