CNN) -- The number of dead in the latest wave of violence in East Timor has risen to at least 20, with more than 50 people wounded, hospital officials in the capital Dili said Monday.

East Timor's cabinet held a crisis meeting Monday as thousands of residents fled the burning capital and rival gangs prowled the streets armed with machetes, The Associated Press reported.
