一列从埃及首都开罗开往南部城市阿斯旺的客运列车在开罗附近脱轨,多节车厢倾覆。事故造成至少7人死亡、数十人受伤。当局正在调查脱轨原因。
A passenger train travelling from Egypt's capital Cairo to the southern city of Aswan derailed near Cairo, overturning several carriages. At least seven people were killed and dozens injured in the crash. Authorities are investigating the cause of the derailment.
救援队将伤者送往附近医院,工人则在清理线路上倾覆的车厢。埃及铁路网是该地区最繁忙的铁路网之一,近年来发生了一系列致命脱轨和碰撞事故,促使政府曾承诺对信号系统和轨道维护进行现代化改造。官员称,周四脱轨事故的技术调查已开始。
Rescue teams transported the injured to nearby hospitals as workers worked to clear the overturned carriages from the line. Egypt's rail network, among the busiest in the region, has suffered a string of deadly derailments and collisions in recent years, prompting past government pledges to modernize signaling and track maintenance. Officials said a technical investigation into Thursday's derailment has begun.
交通部此前曾宣布计划在早期事故后升级全网安全系统。此次事故再次引发关于这些承诺落实到何种程度的质疑。调查结果预计将在未来几天公布。
The transport ministry has previously announced plans to upgrade safety systems across the network following earlier accidents. This crash raises fresh questions about how far those pledges have been carried out. Findings from the investigation are expected to be released in the coming days.
