Humza Yousaf's family in Gaza 'worry about house being bombarded'

Humza Yousaf's family are running out of water as they shelter from Israeli bombardment in Gaza, the first minister has said.

His parents-in-law have been trapped in the territory for two weeks following deadly attacks by Hamas in Israel.

Elizabeth El-Nakla and her husband Maged - the parents of Mr Yousaf's wife Nadia - had travelled to Gaza to see a sick relative.

The first minister reiterated his call for the UK government to demand safe passage for civilians from Gaza.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said he was working with Israel and Egypt to open the Rafah crossing into Egypt to help British nationals leave the area.
