Humza Yousaf’s mother-in-law has asked “where is people’s humanity?” in a tearful video from Gaza.

Elizabeth El-Nakla - the mother of the Scottish First Minister’s wife Nadia - travelled from her home in Scotland last week to visit family in Gaza with her husband, Maged, but has since been “trapped” there following Hamas’s attack on Israel.

According to the UN, Israel has made a plea to Palestinians to move to the southern part of the Gaza Strip ahead of an expected ground offensive, although Hamas has asked civilians to stay in place.

The region subject to the order includes two major refugee camps and Gaza’s largest hospital, which Human Rights Watch has said is dealing with more than 6,000 casualties.

The UN described the military order as “devastating”.
