A collision between two passenger trains occurred on the Cairo-Aswan line in the Al-Ayyat district of the Giza Governorate on November 8, 2026. The accident involved train number 134, traveling from Giza to Fayoum, striking the rear of a stationary train number 2010, which was heading toward Aswan. The impact caused several carriages to derail, with some falling onto embankments or overturning onto nearby agricultural land near the Kafr Ammar and Al-Raqqa stations, specifically near the Gerza junction.

Casualty reports have been updated as the situation developed. While the Egyptian Ministry of Health initially reported at least four deaths and approximately 88 injuries, authorities have since confirmed at least seven deaths, including a train conductor, and more than 125 injuries. Emergency responders, including civil defense teams and over 70 ambulances, deployed to transport the injured to hospitals in Giza and Beni Suef, including Al-Wasta, Al-Ayyat, and Atfih hospitals. Many victims reportedly suffered head injuries, fractures, and broken bones.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered an immediate investigation to determine the cause and hold those responsible for negligence accountable. The Chief Prosecutor’s office and technical committees are investigating whether signaling failures or maintenance issues contributed to the crash. In response, the Egyptian parliament’s Transport and Communications Committee summoned Transport Minister Kamel el-Wazir to an emergency session. The incident has triggered political demands for accountability, with opposition figures questioning the effectiveness of state investments in railway upgrades. Lawmakers Fredi Al-Bayadi and Sanaa Al-Said have also raised questions regarding railway safety, signaling, and maintenance systems.
