Elizabeth El-Nakla travelled from her home in Scotland last week to visit family in Gaza with her husband Maged.
The mother-in-law of Scotland’s First Minister has asked “where is people’s humanity?” in a tearful video from Gaza.
According to the UN, Israel has made a plea to Palestinians for them to move to the southern part of the Gaza Strip ahead of a ground offensive, although Hamas has asked them to stay in place. In a post alongside the video, Mr Yousaf said: “This is Elizabeth El-Nakla. She is my mother-in-law. A retired nurse from Dundee, Scotland.“She has been told to leave Gaza but, like the rest of the population, is trapped with nowhere to go.”
“Closer to home, my thoughts are with my friends Nadia and Humza and their family, and also with Scotland’s precious Jewish community, at this unimaginably awful time.”The video comes after Mr Yousaf urged the international community to “step up”.
