The United Arab Emirates has formally reached out to Egypt to express its deepest sympathies following a devastating train collision south of Cairo that claimed seven lives and left more than 100 people injured. In an official statement, the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs offered heartfelt condolences to the victims' families and the Egyptian government, while wishing a full and swift recovery for those currently receiving medical care.

The accident occurred when a train traveling from Giza to Fayoum struck the back of a southbound service heading toward Aswan. According to Egypt's health officials, victims suffered a wide range of injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and chest wounds; however, many have already been cleared for discharge after initial treatment. President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi has since ordered an immediate investigation into the incident, vowing to hold any negligent parties strictly accountable for the tragedy.
