Humza Yousaf Faces Accusations Over Gaza Aid Decision Amid Family Ties

Scotland's First Minister denies conflict of interest, calling accusations 'outrageous smear' and 'Islamophobic attack'.

Humza Yousaf, Scotland's First Minister, is accused of overriding official advice to donate £250,000 to UNRWA for Gaza aid, despite family being trapped in the warzone.
Yousaf refutes claims of conflict of interest, labeling them as 'far-right conspiracy theories' and 'Islamophobic attacks'.
The Scottish government's donation to UNRWA came amid escalating conflict in Gaza, leading to a humanitarian crisis with over a million Palestinians displaced.
Controversy arises as UNRWA faces allegations of staff involvement in Hamas attacks, prompting several countries, including the UK, to pause support.
Yousaf's actions raise questions about adherence to the Scottish ministerial code and the allocation of international development funds.
