Nadia El-Nakla said she fears the city, where her parents are currently trapped, is being 'obliterated' as Israel seeks retaliation for an attack by Hamas.
The wife of Scotland’s First Minister has called on world leaders to “give the children of Gaza a chance of life” as she spoke of her “complete despair” at the situation in the region.
An emergency motion was passed unanimously by delegates, which calls on the UK Government to back United Nations demands for a humanitarian corridor to be set up, allowing people to leave and for aid to get into the territory to “mitigate the human tragedy unfolding in Gaza”.Humza Yousaf embraced his wife after she spoke to the conference, and then wiped away tears.
She told the conference how people are now sleeping on football pitches near her family’s home, but added: “They still are dropping bombs on them. Morgues are full, we’re using ice cream trucks for the dead.” “Normally once the death toll would reach a high enough number, the world would ask for restraint. But the numbers of deaths are soaring, most children, and Gaza is being turned to rubble.
“What we are watching is an unimaginable horror, families of 20 people being wiped out just like that.She described Palestinians as being “proud people”, adding: “We love to sing and dance and eat and sit by the beach. We’re loud, really loud. And we love hard.“We love to learn, we’re warm, we have dreams and we have goals.
