In a tragic incident on Saturday evening, two passenger trains collided in Egypt's Nile Delta city of Zagazig, resulting in at least two fatalities and 29 injuries. The crash highlights ongoing safety concerns within Egypt's railway system, which has been striving to modernize its infrastructure to prevent such disasters in the future. The Health Ministry indicated that the injured have been transported to various hospitals, and rescue operations are still underway.
The Egyptian railway authority reported that one train was traveling from Zagazig to Ismailia, while the other was en route from Mansoura to Zagazig. This collision raises serious questions about the safety protocols on the Egyptian rail network, especially given the government’s commitments to enhance railway safety measures. With Egypt actively working on improving its transportation infrastructure, incidents like this underscore the urgent need for effective reforms and maintenance efforts.
