At least seven people were killed and 112 injured when two trains collided in Egypt’s Giza governorate, south of Cairo, on Sunday, 8 November 2026, the country’s health ministry said.
Egyptian National Railways said one train struck the rear of another between Kafr Ammar and Al-Raqqa stations, derailing several carriages. Ambulances took the injured to nearby hospitals, while cranes were brought in to clear the wreckage. The health ministry said 45 of those injured had been discharged after their condition improved.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered an investigation into the collision and offered his condolences to the families of those killed.
