Two passenger trains collided in the Al-Ayyat district of Egypt’s Giza province, south of Cairo, when a train bound for Fayoum struck the rear of a Cairo-to-Aswan service. At least four people were killed and 88 injured, according to the Health Ministry. Several carriages derailed, with some reports saying four overturned. Emergency crews, ambulances and cranes were deployed, and rail services on the line were suspended while workers cleared the wreckage. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered an urgent investigation and said anyone found responsible for negligence should be held accountable; authorities have not established the cause.
