(CNN) -- Worsening violence amid anti-government protests in Egypt has led western governments to step up their travel advice. Yesterday, at least 23 people were killed, and hundreds injured, in clashes between supporters and opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy at Cairo University. Since then, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office is recommending "against all but essential travel to Egypt" except certain coastal resorts, where unrest is less evident. Previously, the FCO advised travelers only to steer clear of "all demonstrations and large gatherings" within the country. The U.S. State Department continues to advise against all "non-essential" travel to or within Egypt.
