At least three people – including two children – have been killed after two passenger trains collided in Egypt.
A further 40 people were injured, the country’s health ministry said.
The wounded are being treated in hospital and “rescue operations are ongoing”, the ministry added.
It happened in the city of Zagazig, the capital of Sharqia province, northeast of Cairo.
Video from the crash site shows a crumpled carriage surrounded by crowds.
Men tried to lift the injured through windows.
One of the trains was heading from Zagazig to Ismailia, while the other was on its way from Mansoura to Zagazig, the railway authority said.
