  "account": "A train collision in Egypt's Giza area on Sunday resulted in four deaths and 88 injuries, according to authorities. The catastrophe occurred when a train traveling from Giza to Fayoum struck the rear of another service heading south from Cairo to Aswan, causing several carriages to derail. Egypt's railway authority confirmed the incident, which took place south of the capital in Al-Ayyat, the site of the country's most severe rail disaster to date. In 2002, a train fire south of Cairo killed over 370 people, while in 2009, multiple train crashes in the region claimed dozens of lives. Egypt's 110 million residents rely heavily on train transport, but the extensive network has experienced numerous deadly accidents over the past decade. Despite recent investments of billions of dollars in upgrading its transport infrastructure, including construction of new highways and high-speed rail lines, little progress has been made in modernizing the aging rail system.",
