Tragic Train Collision in Egypt’s Nile Delta: 3 Fatalities

Two passenger trains collided in Egypt’s Nile Delta on Saturday, killing at least three people, including two children, according to authorities.

The crash occurred in Zagazig, the capital of Sharqiya province, according to a statement from the country’s railway authorities. According to Egypt’s Health Ministry, at least 40 people were hurt in the collision.

Train derailments and collisions are prevalent in Egypt, where an outdated railway system has been hampered by poor management. In recent years, the government has announced plans to enhance the railways.

In 2018, President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi stated that approximately 250 billion Egyptian pounds, or $8.13 billion, will be required to adequately repair the North African country’s neglected rail network.

Last month, a train crashed into a truck crossing the train tracks in the Mediterranean province of Alexandria, killing two people.
