MSPs back Gaza ceasefire calls as Humza Yousaf warns of cruelty facing patients
21.11.2023 - 20:11 / dailyrecord.co.uk
MSPs have backed calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as Scotland’s First Minister described the “cruelty” facing patients in hospitals in the region.
Humza Yousaf led a debate on Tuesday, November 21, and condemned the “abhorrent terrorist attacks” by Hamas while urging the Scottish Parliament to take a stand against collective punishment on Palestinians. Mr Yousaf opened the debate by remembering the fear experienced by his own mother-in-law Elizabeth El-Nakla after the conflict erupted following the October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas militants.
While Mrs El-Nakla and her husband Maged, the parents of Mr Yousaf’s wife Nadia, managed to escape and return to Dundee, their family remains in Gaza, their son Mohammed, a doctor, and his poorly grandmother, 92. Mr Yousaf told MSPs doctors in Gaza were having to take risks in order to treat their patients as vital supplies ran out.
He said: “This Government is unequivocal in its condemnation of the Israeli government cutting off water, food, fuel and supplies to the entire population of Gaza. Collective punishment can never be justified.
“Doctors, like my own brother-in-law Mohammed, are forced to practice medieval medicine, reportedly amputating limbs, stitching up serious wounds, even performing caesarean sections, without sufficient anaesthetic.
"This is a cruelty that cannot be allowed to continue. This Parliament and the international community must unite in calling for an immediate ceasefire.”
The motion, amended by a Scottish Labour amendment which called for the International Criminal Court to investigate the conflict’s conduct, was passed by 90 votes to 28. However, a Scottish Tory amendment, instead backing an humanitarian pause, fell short by 89 votes to 28.
