A total of 64 people were injured in a passenger train derailment in Egypt's Giza Governorate, the Health Ministry said on Sunday.

The train was traveling on the Cairo-Aswan route when several carriages overturned near the Gerza junction in Giza, the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry added that 52 ambulances were dispatched to evacuate the injured. Of those injured, 54 were taken to Al Wasta Hospital in Beni Suef and 10 to Al Ayyat Hospital in Giza.

However, some media outlets have reported that the number of injured exceeded 100.
