FORMER Scottish first minister Humza Yousaf said today that his family in Gaza are facing a “hell on Earth” and his father-in-law has been left a “shell” by Israel’s attack.

The parents of Mr Yousaf’s wife Nadia — Maged and Elizabeth El-Nakla — had been visiting relatives in Gaza when the invasion began, trapped for four weeks as Israeli bombs fell.

They managed to escape through Egypt, but Sally — a cousin of Nadia — remained, fleeing her home in the north to Maged’s house in Deir al-Balah in the central part of the strip.
