Four killed and 88 injured in train collision in Egypt
A serious railway disaster occurred in Egypt when two passenger trains collided and derailed in the El-Ayyat district of Giza, leaving at least four people dead and 88 others injured. The casualty figures, confirmed by Egypt’s Ministry of Health, highlight the severity of the crash, which took place along one of the country's busy transit corridors. Following the impact, carriages jumped the tracks, prompting an immediate mobilization of regional medical and civil protection resources.
Emergency response teams and rescue personnel were rapidly deployed to the collision site in El-Ayyat to extricate trapped passengers from the mangled wreckage and provide critical aid to the dozens of wounded commuters. Paramedics transported the 88 injured survivors to nearby hospitals across the Giza area for urgent medical care.

Egypt's Ministry of Health and local emergency services remain focused on treating the wounded and managing the broader fallout of the incident. With four confirmed fatalities and dozens hospitalized, the collision between the two passenger services in El-Ayyat represents a major emergency operation as authorities work to conclude rescue operations and clear the affected railway corridor.
