Hamas has spent years stockpiling desperately needed fuel, food and medicine, as well as ammo and weapons, in the miles of tunnels it has carved out under Gaza.
Egypt has treaties in place, and is following those treaties.
Egypt doesn’t support Hamas, at all. Doesn’t want religious political parties in Egypt.
Israel doesn’t want aid coming into gaza. But appears happy for Gazans to leave Gaza empty.
Egypt doesn’t want to absorb all the Gazan people into Egypt. But is happy to let aid cross into Gaza.
If the border was truly independent we would see all the aid trucks crossing, but Israel does control it via remote monitoring, bombing, and treaties. Israel has the superior military, so Egypt doesn’t want to defy treaties.

Even more strongly, the Muslim Brotherhood is like enemy of the state #1 in Egypt, and Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot.
Sisi isn’t as hell-bent secular as Nasser, licensing and constructing plenty of churches and mosques and preaching religious tolerance, Al Nour isn’t outlawed (probably because irrelevant, anyway), but they’re cracking down hard on the Muslim Brotherhood.
So how does that work when Egypt shares a border with Gaza?
