Why doesn’t Egypt allow journalists through the Raffah crossing? Or refugees..?

Because Egypt is under a US-aligned dictatorship at the moment. Most Egyptians are upset at their government about this.

It's always remarkable how people like you think egyptians are incompetent and incapable of taking actions on their own without a special western nation controlling them.

rany has given a good answer, but I also want to add that currently the Egyptians only control the Rafah crossing on paper.

In reality, Israel controls the crossing because they have occupied/seized the strip of land in Gaza that is adjacent to the crossing (Philadelphi Corridor). Here's a similar complaint from Egyptian media: https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/1234/550260/Egypt...
