埃及火車相撞至少7死、數十人傷,衛生部表示
開羅11月8日(路透)——埃及衛生部表示,兩列客運列車週日在開羅以南約76公里(47英里)處相撞,造成至少7人死亡、112人受傷。CAIRO, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Two passenger trains collided some 76 km (47 miles) south of Cairo on Sunday, killing at least seven people and injuring 112, Egypt’s health ministry said.
國營鐵路管理機關表示,一列從吉薩開往法尤姆的列車,撞上一列從開羅開往亞斯文列車的後方,導致數節車廂出軌。The state railway authority said a train travelling from Giza to Fayoum hit the back of another heading from Cairo to Aswan, derailing several carriages.
鐵路管理機關表示,救難人員正在清理殘骸,以恢復開羅—上埃及線的服務,但未說明需要多久時間。Emergency crews were clearing the wreckage to restore services on the Cairo-Upper Egypt line, the railway authority said, without giving any indication of how long this would take.
另據一份聲明,埃及總統阿卜杜勒・法塔赫・塞西下令迅速調查,並表示任何被認定有疏失的人都應被追究責任。President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered a swift investigation and said anyone found negligent should be held accountable, according to a separate statement.
埃及檢察總長辦公室表示,調查已經展開,以釐清這起事故背後的技術原因。Egypt's public prosecutor's office said investigations were underway to determine the technical reasons behind the crash.
埃及擁有該地區歷史最悠久、規模最大的鐵路網之一,涉及人員傷亡的事故相當常見,不過政府近年已投入數十億埃及鎊推動鐵路網現代化。Egypt has one of the oldest and largest railway networks in the region and accidents involving casualties are common, though the government has been investing billions of Egyptian pounds to modernise the network.
在該國史上最嚴重的鐵路災難中,一列擁擠的客運列車有7節車廂於2002年遭大火吞噬,造成至少360人死亡。In the country's worst-ever rail disaster, a fire tore through seven carriages of an overcrowded passenger service in 2002, killing at least 360 people.
