Bus crash in Egypt's South Sinai governorate results in 22 fatalities

At least 22 people have died in a bus crash in eastern Egypt, according to the country's health ministry. The incident occurred on the road between the Red Sea towns of Dahab and Nuweiba in the South Sinai governorate on Wednesday morning. Additionally, 28 people sustained injuries. Reports from Egyptian and Jordanian media indicate that up to 10 Jordanian nationals may have been among those killed. The Egyptian health ministry stated that all injured individuals are receiving treatment in three different hospitals. Road accidents are frequent in Egypt, with authorities reporting nearly 6,000 fatalities in 2025. Such incidents are often attributed to reckless driving and inadequate road maintenance. Last month, a separate accident involving two lorries resulted in 18 deaths and 30 injuries in the northeastern Ismailia governorate.
