2 trains collide in Giza, killing 7 and injuring 112
The Cairo-Aswan crash triggered an urgent probe and disrupted rail service to southern Egypt.
Two passenger trains collided in Egypt's Giza Province on Sunday (8/11), killing at least seven people and injuring 112 others. Egypt's railway authority said train No. 134 on the Giza-Fayoum route hit the rear of train No. 2010 on the Cairo-Aswan route between Kafr Ammar and Al-Riqqa stations, near Al-Ayyat. The impact caused several carriages to derail and overturn. The Health Ministry dispatched 72 ambulances, while victims were taken to hospitals in Giza and Beni Suef. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered a swift investigation and called for those responsible for any negligence to be held accountable. The Cairo-Upper Egypt line was also disrupted as crews evacuated victims and cleared the site.
