Scottish Prime Minister Humza Yousaf expressed his concern on Monday October 9 about his in-laws, currently stuck in the Gaza Strip where they were visiting family, without the possibility of leaving.

The Scottish leader’s wife, Nadia El-Nakla, is of Palestinian origin and her parents, who live in Scotland, were visiting Gaza to see her 92-year-old paternal grandmother when Hamas carried out an unprecedented attack by its scale on Israeli soil.

“We can’t sleep, we are glued to our phones,” Humza Yousaf told the press. “I’m worried about my family.” “Despite the efforts undertaken by the British Foreign Office, no one can guarantee them safe passage anywhere,” he continued, while the Israeli army ordered a complete siege of the Gaza Strip .

“Night after night, day after day, we do not know if my mother-in-law and my father-in-law, who, like most people in Gaza, have nothing to do with Hamas or any terrorist attack, will pass. at night or not,” said the Scottish leader who condemned Hamas for its offensive.
