Genocide.

Pretty sure Israel's plan is not to allow aid to be brought to the people, but to export the remaining people to the aid.
-
They binbed the border crossing with Egypt, they have no intention of bringing the people tot he aid
-
Yeah, the genocide at this point should be overt enough for more uniformed people to see

It's Israel
If you respond to violence after living your entire life in a concentration camp, you aren't exactly equal to those who put you there.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cairo says the Rafah crossing, a potentially vital opening for desperately-needed supplies into the Israeli-besieged Palestinian enclave, is not officially closed but is inoperable due to Israeli air strikes on the Gaza side.
As Israel's bombardment and siege of Gaza has intensified, the territory's 2.3 million residents have been left without power, pushing health and water services to the brink of collapse, with fuel for hospital generators running low.
"There is an urgent need to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza," Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told reporters, adding that talks with Israel had not been fruitful.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced within Gaza, with some taking cars and suitcases south towards the Rafah crossing but others heading back north after failing to find refuge.
Like others, Egypt has spoken out against any mass exodus of Gaza residents, reflecting deep Arab fears that the latest war could spark a new wave of permanent displacement for Palestinians from lands where they have sought to build a state.
Early on Monday, two Egyptian security sources had told Reuters a temporary ceasefire in southern Gaza to last several hours had been agreed to facilitate aid and evacuations at Rafah.
The original article contains 548 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Man if only there was some way to protect the corridor by air.
You know like engaging in high stakes geopolitics and military showdowns.
Because Egypt definitely cares about the Palestinians and Gaza.

It cites the Egyptian foreign ministry and unnamed egyptian security sources. Why lie?

Did you read the article? It makes claims about "Cairo" and "Egypt" saying something, never actually quoting any entity from the Egyptian government on the reason the pass is not operational. The foreign minister says merely that there is "an urgent need", whatever the hell that means. The writers very conveniently leave out any reliable quotations for the single most contentious part of the entire piece. If anybody credible actually believed that Israel bombed this crossing, the authors would have no trouble finding a quote saying so.
