Broadcaster Nashat al-Dihi questioned whether the Al-Ayyat train crash was connected to the Taba–Arish logistics corridor project, since it occurred after Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir toured the area to review railway development work in Sinai. He stressed, however, that he was raising questions and not prejudging the investigation’s findings. The project aims to link Taba Port on the Gulf of Aqaba with Arish Port on the Mediterranean, as part of a plan to establish eight logistics corridors in Egypt. The collision between two trains in Al-Ayyat left seven people dead and 125 injured. Preliminary investigations indicated that the driver of one train had disabled its automatic control system, while station officials had been negligent and the signal log had been tampered with. The attorney general ordered a technical committee to inspect the railway system.
