On Sunday, a collision between two passenger trains in Egypt's Giza Governorate killed 7 people and injured 112 others. A train traveling from Giza to Fayoum crashed into the rear of a stationary train heading from Cairo to Aswan, causing several carriages to derail and overturn.

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi ordered an urgent investigation to hold negligent parties accountable, and emergency crews deployed cranes and ambulances to clear the wreckage and transport victims.
