Two passenger trains collided in Egypt’s al‑Ayyat district, about 30 miles south of Cairo, on Sunday.

The crash left at least seven people dead and more than 100 injured, with one report counting almost 90 injuries. Egypt’s president has ordered a rapid investigation into the accident. Officials have not yet explained what caused the derailment, how the train equipment performed, or whether any safety rules were broken.
