Multiple cars collision kill 32, injure 63 in Egypt
At least 32 people were reported killed, and 63 injured after multiple cars collided about 132 kilometres north of Cairo, Egypt’s capital.
The collision happened on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road early Saturday morning, according to Egypt’s ministry of health and population.
The accident involved a passenger bus and several cars, some of which caught fire after there was an oil leak from one of the vehicles.
Al-Ahram, state-run newspaper, quoted the ministry of social solidarity and Nasser Social Bank as saying families of the deceased will be provided with EGP 60,000 (about $1,946).
The ministry will also reportedly provide financial assistance to the injured based on their needs and the severity of their injuries.
