At least 20 people have been killed and 40 others injured in a major fire at the main railway station in Cairo. The National Railway Authority said the fire erupted when a train collided with a concrete buffer stop at Ramses Station.
The train’s fuel tank reportedly exploded after the crash, setting a platform and nearby buildings on fire.
Dozens of ambulances and fire engines were rushed to the scene. Mohammed Said, the head of the Cairo Railroad hospital, said the death toll could rise further.
