Bus crash on Egypt’s Red Sea coast kills 16
At least 16 people have been killed in a bus crash in eastern Egypt, the country's health ministry has said.
A bus accident on Egypt's Red Sea coast claimed the lives of 16 individuals and left 28 others injured, according to the country's health ministry. The collision occurred on Wednesday morning between the coastal towns of Dahab and Nuweiba in the South Sinai governorate. Reports suggest that Jordanian nationals were among the victims of the accident.
Emergency services swiftly responded, with up to 20 ambulances dispatched to the scene for immediate assistance and to transport the injured. The precise cause of the crash remains undetermined. The region is a favored tourist spot, drawing visitors from across the globe. Road mishaps are alarmingly frequent in Egypt, with authorities reporting around 6,000 fatalities in 2025.
These incidents are frequently attributed to negligent driving practices and insufficient road upkeep. Just last month, 18 people lost their lives and 30 sustained injuries when two trucks collided in the northeastern Ismailia governorate.
