The collision of two trains in El-Ayyat, Giza Governorate, intensified pressure on Egyptian Transport Minister Kamel El-Wazir after the accident left seven people dead and 125 injured. Lawmakers and political parties called for him to be questioned or dismissed amid repeated accidents in the area. The Public Prosecution formed a technical committee to investigate the cause of the collision and inspect the tracks and train cars, as well as operating and safety procedures. Lawmakers also called for a review of the signalling, maintenance and training systems. One lawmaker said train accidents had risen by about 64% since 2020, according to government statistics. The data showed 170 accidents last year, compared with 220 in 2024.
