Former Scotland Minister Accuses Israel of Starving Family Amid Gaza Aid Crisis

Humza Yousaf, the former first minister of Scotland, and his wife Nadia El-Nakla have publicly accused Israel of deliberately starving their family members living in Gaza, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation amid ongoing conflict. They described how relatives, including children and a seven-month-old baby, are suffering extreme food shortages despite aid supplies being only a few kilometers away, while the Israeli Defense Forces continue ground operations in the area. More than 100 aid organizations have warned of mass starvation in Gaza, attributing it to the Israeli siege and restrictions on aid access, and have called for an immediate ceasefire and restoration of humanitarian aid. The UK and 27 other nations have criticized Israel for limiting aid and causing civilian suffering, with reports of Palestinians being shot while seeking food and water. Yousaf emphasized that doctors and journalists in Gaza are becoming too weak to fulfill their duties due to starvation, urging world leaders to act and open borders for aid delivery. Israeli officials have denied these accusations, claiming they are providing humanitarian aid in line with international law, while blaming Hamas for obstructing assistance.
