  "account": "A train collision in Egypt's Giza region resulted in four fatalities and 88 injuries, according to authorities. The accident occurred when a train from Giza to Fayoum struck the rear of another service traveling south from Cairo to Aswan. The health ministry initially reported four passengers killed, with 88 others receiving treatment for injuries in nearby hospitals. Later reports suggested the injury toll could be as high as 120, though the severity of the wounds was not specified. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi expressed concern over the incident and ordered an urgent investigation to identify any negligent parties. Emergency crews employed cranes to dismantle the wreckage. The crash site is located in Giza's Al-Ayyat area, which witnessed Egypt's deadliest rail disaster in 2002, when a fire killed over 370 people. Another major incident in 2009 saw multiple train crashes claiming dozens of lives. With over 110 million citizens relying on the extensive rail network, Egypt has invested billions in upgrading its transport infrastructure, including highways and high-speed rail lines. However, the aging rail network remains largely unmodernized.",
