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 Hamza Yusuf 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. El-Nakla, who is also a Dundee city councilor, said her parents--she was born to a Scottish mother and Palestinian father--tried to escape through a border crossing with Egypt but failed when the crossing was bombed.
