The passenger train was travelling from Egypt’s capital to Aswan in the south when it derailed, overturning carriages.
At least seven people have been killed and more than 112 others injured in a train crash on the outskirts of Cairo in Egypt’s Giza province, according to the country’s Health Ministry.
A train travelling between Giza and Fayoum on Sunday ran into the back of another train on the Cairo-to-Aswan route, causing the latter to derail from its tracks onto a countryside road in the district of al-Ayyat, authorities said.
