Summary

Two passenger trains collided on Sunday in the al-Ayyat district of Giza province, south of Cairo, killing 7 people and injuring 125, according to Egypt's health ministry; some accounts give different figures. A train travelling from Giza to Fayoum struck the rear of a Cairo-to-Aswan train, and several carriages derailed, with some reported as badly mangled and some tumbling down an embankment. The collision occurred between the Kafr Ammar and Al-Raqqa stations. Emergency crews, cranes and the Egyptian Red Crescent responded, and rail services on the line were halted. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered an inquiry, and the public prosecutor's office is examining the cause. Egypt's rail network has long faced criticism over management and maintenance.
