Humza Yousaf's relatives were evacuated the day after he met officials from UNRWA, and he denies ignoring officials' advice to give up to £200,000 to UNICEF instead. At the time, more than a million Palestinians in Gaza faced displacement amid the escalating conflict.
Scottish first minister Humza Yousaf has said accusations there was a conflict of interest over a £250,000 donation he made to an aid agency working in Gaza are 'ludicrous' and 'completely untrue'. Mr Yousaf's parents-in-law were among millions under siege when he announced the donation to United Nations Relief and Works Agency as he met officials from the organisation on 2 November. His relatives were evacuated the following day via the Rafah crossing.
All international development fund allocations are guided by a rigorous process, they said. 'UNRWA had no role in the situation regarding the first minister's extended family and any suggestion of a conflict of interest in this matter would be completely untrue, and simply a regurgitation of ludicrous far-right conspiracy theories to be found online,' the spokesperson said.
