 "Cairo-bound train derails in Egypt, 3 dead and nearly 100 injured")
At least three people were killed and 94 others injured when a passenger train traveling from Matrouh to Cairo derailed in western Egypt on Saturday. The incident adds to the country’s long history of rail accidents, as authorities launch an investigation into the cause.
At least three people were killed and 94 others were injured when a passenger train crashed in western Egypt on Saturday, according to police. It was the most recent in the nation’s string of rail mishaps in recent years.
According to a statement from railway officials, the train derailed when it was travelling from the western Mediterranean province of Matrouh, on the north coast of the nation, to Cairo. Two of its waggons overturned, and seven of them fell off the rails.
In a separate statement, the Health Ministry listed the number of casualties and stated that 30 ambulances had been sent to transport the injured to hospitals.
According to a statement from the railway officials, an inquiry has been launched to ascertain the reason for the incident.
Train derailments and crashes are common in Egypt, where an aging railway system has also been plagued by mismanagement. Last October, a locomotive crashed into the tail of a Cairo-bound passenger train in southern Egypt, killing at least one person and injuring multiple others.
In recent years, the government announced initiatives to improve its railways. President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said in 2018 some 250 billion Egyptian pounds, or $8.13 billion, would be needed to properly overhaul the country’s neglected rail network.
