Three employees of Qatar’s Amiri Diwan, the Gulf state’s top government body, were killed in a car crash near the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Qatar’s embassy in Egypt said on Sunday on X.
The embassy said two other staff were wounded and were receiving treatment at a city hospital. The bodies of the deceased and the injured will be repatriated to Doha later on Sunday, it added.
Two Egyptian security sources earlier told Reuters that a vehicle carrying Qatari officials overturned on a curve about 50 km (31 miles) from the resort city.
The accident comes days after officials from Qatar, Turkey and Egypt took part in indirect talks in Sharm el-Sheikh that produced an agreement between Israel and Hamas forming the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end the Gaza war. The city is due to host a global summit on Monday aimed at finalising the accord.
