Friday, March 14, 2025 - At least 10 people are de@d after a train ploughed through a minibus while it crossed railway tracks in Egypt.
One child is in critical condition, while 10 more people are injured, as
a result of the crash along the Qantara East-Bir al-Abd line, near the Suez
Canal, on Thursday, March 13.
Pictures from the scene show the tangled metal remains of a red minibus
beside a railway track running through Ismailia province, east of Cairo.
The minibus, understood to have mounted the tracks at an unofficial
crossing, was carrying children home from nursery at the time, local media
reports.
All the injured were taken to East Qantara central hospital, in Ismailia
province, Egypt’s railway authority said. One child is in critical
condition.
Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly has ordered payments to £1,520 to each
of the victims’ families.
The national railway authority warned drivers to avoid crossing tracks in
unauthorised areas.
