In Egypt as a result of the collision of trains killed at least 7 people

Two passenger trains collided about 76 km south of Cairo on Sunday, November 8, killing at least seven people and injuring 112.

According to Reuters, citing the state railway administration of Egypt, a train en route from Giza to Fayoum collided with another train en route from Cairo to Aswan, as a result of which several cars derailed.

"As reported by the railway authority, emergency services were engaged in clearing debris to restore the movement of trains on the Cairo-Upper Egypt line, without specifying how long it will take," the material says.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered a swift investigation and said anyone who showed negligence should be held accountable.

"The Egyptian prosecutor's office said investigations were underway to find out the technical causes of the crash," the agency wrote.

Egypt has one of the oldest and largest rail networks in the region, and accidents are common despite the government investing billions of Egyptian pounds to upgrade the network.
