At least four killed and dozens injured in train collision near Giza in Egypt, health ministry says
Authorities said a train traveling to Fayoum struck another headed to Aswan, prompting an investigation and a rescue effort that injured 112 people.
- On Sunday, November 8, 2026, a train traveling from Giza to Fayoum rear-ended a service heading to Aswan in Al-Ayyat, Giza Governorate, derailing multiple carriages. The Health Ministry confirmed four passengers died and 88 others are receiving hospital treatment.
- Al-Ayyat has a long history of rail disasters, including a 2002 fire that killed more than 370 people. While Egypt invested billions in new infrastructure, the core network serving 110 million people remains largely un-overhauled and vulnerable.
- Authorities launched an emergency response with 72 ambulances dispatched to the scene, while specialist cranes cleared wreckage from tracks. State-owned media initially reported 120 wounded, but the Health Ministry later revised the figure to 88 passengers receiving care.
- President Abdel Fattah ordered an urgent investigation, stating he is "following the consequences of the train accident with great concern." He directed authorities to "hold accountable anyone found to have acted negligently" regarding the collision.
