Arabic version: تصادم قطارين في شمال مصر يودي بحياة سبعة أشخاص

According to BBC News, a train collision in northern Egypt has killed at least seven people and injured dozens. Footage from the scene showed multiple carriages overturned after the crash, with dozens of people gathered around them.

One of the trains had been travelling from Giza to the Fayoum oasis, south-west of Cairo. The other was heading from Cairo to Aswan in southern Egypt.

The cause of the accident was not yet clear. Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said an investigation was under way and that it would “hold accountable anyone who proves their negligence”.
