GAZA- The mother of Hamza Yusuf, the First Minister of Scotland, who is currently in Gaza, has released a heartfelt video message, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation in the region.
In her emotional video message, the mother of the prominent British-Pakistani leader expressed the gravity of the situation, stating that this could potentially be her final video message. She pointed out that at this moment, a mass exodus of people is taking place from Gaza due to the ongoing crisis.
One of the most alarming aspects she brought to light was the plight of approximately one million people who are facing severe food and water shortages in the region, with relentless Israeli airstrikes continuing to exacerbate the crisis.
This is Elizabeth El-Nakla. She is my mother-in-law. A retired nurse from Dundee, Scotland. She, like the vast majority of people in Gaza, has nothing to do with Hamas. She has been told to leave Gaza but, like the rest of the population, is trapped with nowhere to go. pic.twitter.com/D3ZUtnEmyO
