  "account": "In Egypt, a devastating train collision resulted in at least four deaths and nearly 90 injuries on Sunday, south of the capital, Cairo. The catastrophic accident occurred in al-Ayyat district, Giza province, approximately 32 miles from Cairo. The Transportation Ministry reported that one train, en route to Fayoum province, collided with the rear of a train bound for Aswan province, causing one of the trains to derail. Egypt's Health Ministry confirmed the grim toll of four fatalities and 88 injuries, with victims promptly transported to nearby hospitals for medical attention. President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi vowed to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure accountability for the incident. Emergency response teams and cranes were promptly dispatched to the crash site to clear the wreckage and swiftly restore normal train operations. Trains had collided in the same district just months earlier, resulting in injuries to a train driver and his assistant in September.",
