At least four people have been killed and 88 others injured after two passenger trains collided in Egypt’s Giza province on Sunday, November 8, 2026, according to the country’s Ministry of Health.
The collision occurred in the Al-Ayyat district when a train travelling from Giza to Fayoum struck the rear of another passenger train heading from Cairo to Aswan, causing several carriages to derail.
Egypt’s National Railways Authority said the trains involved were service No. 134, travelling on the Giza-Fayoum route, and service No. 2010, operating between Cairo and Aswan.
The injured passengers were evacuated to nearby hospitals, while emergency response teams and railway cranes were deployed to clear the wreckage and restore services along the affected railway line.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered an urgent investigation into the accident, saying anyone found responsible for negligence would be held accountable.
Authorities are continuing to assess the situation as rescue and recovery operations proceed.
