Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has said he is 'desperately worried' about whether his family who are trapped in Gaza are alive or dead after losing contact with them. The first minister said he last spoke to the parents of his wife Nadia El-Nakla at around 7.30am on Friday before communications were cut off as Israel expanded ground operations overnight. His in-laws travelled to the region before the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October and have been trapped ever since.
Mr Yousaf said in the last conversation he had with his mother-in-law, Elizabeth, a retired nurse, she told him there had been an intense night of bombing and that the family home, which usually has 10 people in it, was housing 100 people. 'The hundred in the house spent a fair chunk of the evening deciding which room they would go in and which corner they would huddle into should there be an airstrike that hits the home,' he said.
