    I'm not sure what part you meant since the article talks about how they can't flee not because of the bombing but because the border is closed by Egypt

    Egypt has refused to open its doors to those fleeing Gaza — in part because it doesn’t want to be seen as aiding Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians but also because it doesn’t want a massive refugee crisis within its borders.
