At least 19 people have died in the second major train crash in Egypt in the last two months. More than 100 people have also been injured when a train travelling to an army camp derailed south of Cairo.

The crash follows an accident last November when a school bus collided with a train at a crossing in Central Egypt. The crash left 50 people dead, mostly children.

In the wake of the accident, both Egypt’s Transport Minister Mohamed Rashad al-Matini and the head of the rail authority resigned

The latest accident comes just a couple of weeks after a new transport minister was appointed. Hatem Abdel-Latif, an engineering professor at Ain Shams University and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, was appointed to the role in early January.

Abdel-Latif will be under increasing pressure to tackle Egypt’s worsening track record in rail and road safety.
