Humza Yousaf took to social media to speak about his wife's relatives who now have nowhere left to go.
Humza Yousaf has said that his wife's family have been told to evacuate the home they are currently taking refuge in Gaza following an alert from Israel.
Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: "Nadia's cousin & family told to evacuate my father-in-law's house in Gaza where they're taking refuge. No Hamas. Just innocent men, women & children now looking for a cart for their possessions, hoping to survive another day. Somehow, the world watches on, incapable of humanity."
"Today my dad's house and my extended family received an evacuation order. They have no place to go. Sally is looking for a cart to carry blankets! My heart is broken. May God protect them." The news comes after a turbulent week within the SNP over the conflict in the Middle East. It was prompted by the Scottish Government’s External Affairs Secretary Angus Robertson meeting with Israel’s deputy ambassador to the UK.
John Swinney has now held talks with the head of the Palestinian mission to the UK, discussing the situation in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. The First Minister spoke by video call to Dr Husam Zomlot on Wednesday afternoon, with Mr Swinney expressing his “support for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza”.
