Summary

A train collision in al-Ayyat district, Giza province, south of Cairo, on November 8 killed 7 people and injured 125, according to the latest adopted figures; some accounts give different tolls and injury counts. A train bound for Fayoum reportedly struck the rear of a stopped or slower train bound for Aswan, derailing several carriages, some of which overturned or fell down an embankment. Witnesses described badly mangled cars. Rescue crews and cranes were sent to clear the wreckage and restore service on the Cairo to Upper Egypt line. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi ordered an inquiry, and the public prosecutor's office opened an investigation into the technical causes. Reports note that Egypt's rail network has long faced criticism over poor maintenance and mismanagement, and that more than 70 of the injured were discharged after treatment.
