Summary

Two passenger trains collided in the al-Ayyat district of Giza province, roughly 76 km south of Cairo, on Sunday. Reports say a train bound for Fayoum struck the rear of a train heading to Aswan, and several carriages derailed. Egypt's health ministry put the toll at 7 dead and 112 injured, though some earlier accounts gave lower figures, including four dead and close to 90 hurt. Witnesses said about 80 injured people were taken by ambulance to nearby hospitals, and at least 72 ambulances attended the scene. Cause is under investigation; President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi ordered a swift inquiry, and emergency crews worked to clear wreckage and restore services on the Cairo-Upper Egypt line.
