On August 14, 2013, supporters of Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi raided 65 churches across Egypt. In Delga, a small village south of Cairo, the militia set fire to Christian houses, forcing approximately 150 families to flee and settle in other cities. Three months later, the Egyptian army regained control over the towns that were attacked. Christian survivors of the sectarian violence returned to Delga, where they now live among the majority Muslim community.
