SEVEN KILLED, 125 INJURED IN EGYPT TRAIN COLLISION AS EL-SISI ORDERS URGENT PROBE
Seven people were killed and 125 others injured after a passenger train traveling from Giza to Fayoum struck the rear of a Cairo-to-Aswan train in Egypt’s El-Ayyat district on Sunday, causing several carriages to derail. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi ordered an urgent investigation and accountability for anyone found negligent, while prosecutors appointed a specialized technical committee to examine the trains, tracks and operating procedures. Egyptian National Railways restored the Cairo–High Dam line on Monday after crews removed damaged carriages and repaired the affected track.
