Two passenger trains collided in Egypt's Nile delta, resulting in at least three fatalities, including two children, and injuring over 40, highlighting the dangers of an aging railway system.
Egypt’s healthcare officials confirmed the train crash in Zagazig as part of an ongoing pattern of railway accidents fueled by mismanagement and a dire need for infrastructure improvement.
In light of repeated train accidents, initiatives have been announced to better the rail system, needing significant financial resources, with President el-Sisi stating that 250bn Egyptian pounds are required for improvements.
Graphic videos from the train collision scene reveal the chaos, with men attempting to rescue the injured as one crumpled car lay surrounded by onlookers, further emphasizing urgent safety concerns.
