Scotland’s first minister shares video from mother-in-law trapped in Gaza

Scotland’s Humza Yousaf has shared a video from his mother-in-law Elizabeth el-Nakla, who is currently trapped in Gaza with her husband Maged.

The pair, who are British nationals, have been told to leave the area, but like millions of others in Gaza, they have no way out of the territory.

“This will be my last video,” El-Nakla says. “Everybody from Gaza is moving towards where we are. One million people, no food or water. They’re bombing them as they leave, where are they going to put them?

“My thought is, all these people in the hospital cannot be evacuated. Where’s humanity? Where’s peoples’ hearts to let this happen in this day and age? May God help us. Goodbye.”
