Can you cite a source that they're not allowing them to leave Gaza?
Human Rights Watch
Are they preventing them from fleeing elsewhere?
The entirety of Gaza is a warzone. So yeah.
Gaza only borders Israel?
Well the Israelis can't violate Egyptian sovereignty. They have perfectly good areas they can setup IDP camps without bothering Israel.
Do you think the Egyptians are putting a genocide on Gazans by keeping them trapped in a war zone?
I think the Egyptians are irrelevant to Israeli actions.
Do you think them keeping their border shut is relevant to Gazans wanting to escape?
No. Because Israel controls the border crossing. And even if they weren't it wouldn't absolve Israel of it's sins. Just like western countries accepting Jewish refugees would not have absolved Germany.
Do you think it's secretly disguised mossad agents masquerading as Egyptian officials when they say they don't want to let in Gazan refugees?
That would certainly be an interesting twist
Uhhhh... No.
