  "summary": "Two passenger trains collided on Sunday in the Al-Ayyat area of Giza province, approximately 76 km south of Cairo. According to the state railway authority, a train traveling from Giza to Fayoum struck the rear of a service traveling from Cairo to Aswan, causing several carriages to derail. RTE News reported the crash occurred in the same area as Egypt's worst-ever rail disaster in 2002.\n\nThe Egyptian health ministry stated that at least four people were killed and 88 others were injured. RTE News noted that state-owned media had previously reported 120 people were wounded, though they did not specify the severity of the injuries. Emergency crews used cranes to clear the wreckage to restore services on the Cairo-Upper Egypt line.\n\nPresident Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has ordered an urgent investigation to hold anyone found negligent accountable. Following the accident, the Foreign Ministry reported that Saudi Arabia expressed its condolences to Egypt and the families of the victims.",
