First Minister Humza Yousaf yesterday told of his relief as his parents-in-law arrived in Scotland from Gaza.<\/p>\n
Mr Yousaf, 38, shared online a family photo which included his wife Nadia and her parents Elizabeth and Maged El-Nakla.<\/p>\n
The El-Naklas, from Dundee, were among 92 Britons allowed to pass through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt on
Friday morning.<\/p>\n
They were visiting relatives in Gaza when the conflict with Israel erupted. Mr Yousaf, who has told how the couple had to drink seawater amid horrific conditions, said: \u201cI am pleased to say my in-laws are safe and back home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are, of course, elated, but my father-in-law said \u2018My heart is broken in two \u2013 and with my mum, son and grandchildren in Gaza\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe then broke down, telling me how hard it was saying goodbye to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Yousaf\u2019s daughters Amal, four, and Maya, 14, are seen in the photo along with other family members.<\/p>\n
The First Minister\u2019s brother-in-law is a doctor who is currently treating the wounded in Gaza.<\/p>\n
Other relatives who remain in Gaza include the grandmother of Nadia.<\/p>\n
Mr Yousaf is calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, saying a \u201chumanitarian pause\u201d would not be an acceptable response to the thousands being killed.<\/p>\n
