HUMZA Yousaf's wife Nadia El-Nakla told of her 'complete despair' over the situation in Gaza in an emotional speech to SNP conference.
Delegates passed an emergency resolution condemning the terroist attacks by Hamas and calling for the release of hostages, as well as respecting international law and rejecting"collective punishment" and innocent people paying the price for the actions of Hamas.
"Yesterday my cousin was out walking with friends, returned home and got a call asking if he was okay. He said he was fine, but the three friends he was just walking with had just been killed. She embraced Yousaf at the end of her speech and was given a huge round of applause before the motion was passed.
