Humza Yousaf says 'terrified' in-laws have survived the night in Gaza

Speaking today, the First Minister gave an update on his family in the region, saying his in-laws survived the night but describe the situation as “pretty horrendous”. Mr Yousaf said: “We heard from my mother-in-law this morning. Thankfully she survived the night, they’re safe for now – but I use that term very loosely in terms of how safe they are.” Throughout Monday night and into Tuesday morning, his mother-in-law Elizabeth El-Nakla said they could hear missiles and jets, causing them to be “terrified”, Mr Yousaf said. In a letter to James Cleverly on Tuesday, Humza Yousaf urged him to use the positive relationship between the UK and Israel to push for civilians in Gaza to be allowed to leave. It comes as Mr Yousaf’s in-laws remain in Gaza, where he said they are currently “trapped” but alive.
