Two trains collide south of Cairo, 4 dead, 88 injured

Two passenger trains collided about 76 km south of Cairo on Sunday, killing at least four people and injuring 88 others, Egypt's health ministry said.

The state railway authority said a train traveling from Giza to Fayoum collided with another traveling from Cairo to Aswan, derailing several carriages.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered a swift investigation and said anyone found negligent should be held accountable, according to a separate statement.

Emergency teams were clearing the rubble to restore services on the Cairo-Upper Egypt line, the railway authority said, without giving any indication of how long this would take.
