A train derailment in Cameroon resulted in 60 deaths and nearly 600 injuries. Rescue teams transported the injured to nearby hospitals, where families awaited updates. The main hospital morgue in Yaoundé received 29 bodies, including women, babies, and an unidentified officer. The Health Ministry assured efficient hospital operations and promised more information once the situation was under control. The train, traveling from the capital to Douala, derailed near Ezeca due to overcrowding caused by a bridge collapse blocking the road route. Camrail, a subsidiary of the French group Volor, is conducting technical investigations to determine the accident's cause, and stations in both cities are secured.
