At least four people were killed and 88 others injured in a collision between two passenger trains in the Al Ayat area of Giza Governorate, Egypt. The incident occurred on Sunday when a train traveling from Giza to Fayoum rear-ended another train en route from Cairo to Aswan. The impact caused several carriages of the second train to derail.

Egypt’s Ministry of Health deployed 72 ambulances to transport and treat the injured, while rescue teams continue efforts to clear the wreckage and restore railway services. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi offered condolences to the victims’ families and ordered an immediate investigation into the cause of the accident, demanding accountability for those responsible.
