Yousaf's parents-in-law live in Scotland but were visiting relatives in Gaza when Hamas militants poured into Israel and killed 1,300 people last weekend. "There is no doubt that collective punishment is a breach of international law," he said. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told parliament on Monday that Israel must defend itself in line with international humanitarian law. Diplomatic efforts are continuing to get aid into the enclave as food, fuel and water run short. He added that his brother-in-law, who works as a doctor, is having to make decisions about who should be treated, while the hospitals in Gaza run out of body bags.

LONDON--The wife of Scotland’s political leader said her parents are trapped in Gaza and are terrified for themselves and their extended family. Nadia El-Nakla, who is married to Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf, said her parents traveled to Gaza from their home in Dundee to visit relatives last week and were now stuck in the territory amid Israeli retaliation for the Hamas attack days earlier. “They are just terrified, absolutely terrified, about what is to come and what is happening right now as we speak,” she told BBC News on Wednesday. She said her aunt’s house was damaged by an Israeli attack. Yousaf, the son of Pakistani immigrants, has strongly condemned the Hamas attack and called on the U.K. government to pressure Israel and Egypt into allowing civilians to flee via the Egyptian border crossing.
