A tragic train collision in Egypt’s Nile Delta kills three, including two children, and injures at least 40 others. The incident highlights ongoing challenges with the country’s aging railway system.
BollywoodFever: A tragic train collision in Egypt’s Nile Delta on Saturday claimed the lives of at least three people, including two children, and left 40 others injured, according to authorities.
The crash occurred in the city of Zagazig, the capital of Sharqiya province, as confirmed by the country’s railway authority.
The incident is part of a broader issue plaguing Egypt’s aging railway system, which has seen frequent derailments and crashes over the years due to mismanagement.
The government has previously announced initiatives to overhaul the system, with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi stating in 2018 that around 250 billion Egyptian pounds ($8.13 billion) would be needed for improvements.
Video footage from the crash site showed a train car severely damaged, with crowds gathered as rescuers worked to lift the injured through the windows of the train.
This collision comes just a month after a train hit a truck crossing the tracks in Alexandria, killing two people.
The repeated accidents have raised concerns about the state of Egypt’s railway infrastructure and the need for immediate upgrades.
