Acting on directives from First Lady Entissar El Sisi, Honorary President of the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC), the organisation has dispatched case management teams to hospitals and to places housing the families of those affected by the Al-Ayyat train collision. The teams are assessing urgent needs and determining the financial, moral and psychological support required.
The ERC said the teams are evaluating the actual needs of the injured and of the families of the deceased, and identifying the interventions required to provide the necessary support in the aftermath of the crash.
Mrs El Sisi had expressed deep sorrow over the incident and offered her condolences to the victims’ families. She directed the ERC to assess all urgent needs while providing comprehensive assistance.
ERC teams continue to provide psychological support and relief aid at the crash site, as well as at Al-Ayyat, Al-Wasta and Atfih hospitals.
Teams from the ERC’s central headquarters and its Giza, Fayoum and Beni Suef branches, comprising staff and volunteers, are actively taking part in the emergency response.
