THE mother-in-law of Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf is trapped in the Gaza Strip as Israeli troops prepare to invade the Palestinian enclave.

In what she said was her “last” video from the besieged and densely populated coastal territory, Elizabeth El-Nakla asked: “Where is people’s humanity?”

Ms El-Nakla, the mother of Mr Yousaf’s wife Nadia, and her husband Maged travelled from their home in Scotland last week to visit relatives in Gaza.

On Saturday, fighters from Islamist group Hamas, which rules Gaza, launched a massive cross-border attack on southern Israel, following decades of repression of Palestinians by Israel and its evolution into an apartheid state.

More than 1,000 Israelis, including children, were killed in the attack, which targeted civilians en masse.

Israel has responded with bombing and missile raids that have killed hundreds of innocent people in Gaza, including children.

The Israeli military has now told more than one million inhabitants of the territory to move south towards the border with Egypt as it prepares for a ground invasion.

The United Nations described the military order as “devastating.”

Ms El-Nakla said in a viedo: “Everybody from Gaza is moving towards where we are.

“One million people, no food, no water — and still they’re bombing them as they’re leaving.

“Where are you going to put them?”

The area of Gaza to be evacuated includes the enclave’s hospital. It is believed to contain 6,000 injured people and is running out of medical supplies.

Israel has cut off Gaza’s water and electricity supplies.

Ms El-Nakla, a retired nurse from Dundee, said: “But my thought is — all these people in the hospital cannot be evacuated.

“Where is humanity? Where’s people’s hearts in the world, to let this happen in this day and age?

“May God help us, goodbye.”

Mr Yousaf said: “She has been told to leave Gaza, but, like the rest of the population, is trapped with nowhere to go.”

The video emerged after Mr Yousaf said that there was “no justification” for the deaths of innocent people in Gaza.

“UN has said the order to move 1.1 million people in 24 hours will lead to ‘devastating humanitarian consequences.’

“The international community must step up and demand an end to collective punishment.”
