The mother-in-law of Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has issued an emotional plea for help after Israel warned more than a million people to flee north Gaza.
Elizabeth El-Nakla and her husband, Maged, travelled to the south of the Palestinian enclave last week to see a sick relative.
But days into their trip Hamas killed 1,300 people, Israeli officials say.
The couple, from Dundee, are now trapped in a war zone with no way out.
The UN said Israel was telling everyone to relocate to the south of Gaza in the next 24 hours, a move it warned would have "devastating humanitarian consequences".
Palestinian health officials say 1,400 people have died in Israeli retaliatory airstrikes in Gaza as the death toll continues to rise in the conflict.
Earlier this week Mr Yousaf's wife, Nadia El-Nakla told BBC News her family were "terrified" and some of her relatives' homes have already been destroyed.
On Friday, Mr Yousaf shared a moving 40-second video from his mother-in-law on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The first minister later told BBC News that the clip was "difficult to watch".

Looking directly into the camera Ms El-Nakla said: "This will be my last video.
"Everybody from Gaza is moving towards where we are. One million people. No food. No water.
"And still they are bombing them as they leave. Where are we going to put them?"
The grandmother became tearful as she continued: "But my thought is all these people in the hospital cannot be evacuated. Where's humanity? Where's people's hearts in the world to let this happen in this day and age?
Mr and Mrs El-Nakla are in Gaza visiting their son - a father-of-four - and Mr El-Nakla's 92-year-old mother, who is ill.
Scotland's FM Humza Yousaf says the situation in Gaza, where he has family, is "a human catastrophe".
Mr Yousaf said he felt it was important to share the clip to show that the retired nurse was "as far away from Hamas as you could possibly imagine".
Mr Yousaf stressed he had "entire and absolute sympathy" with the men, women and children who lost their lives in Israel.
However, he insisted: "The collective punishment of 2.2 million Gazans just cannot be justified."
The first minister also repeated his calls for a ceasefire and for the creation of humanitarian corridors to allow supplies in and people out.

Asked how his family were coping, Mr Yousaf said: "There is a sense of helplessness and distress and every day that goes on you fear the situation.
"I just had a message from my mother-in-law, all of 15 minutes ago, to say that there is now bombing in their neighbourhood."
The first minister added that with every passing day the family's meagre rations diminish and they will be placed under further strain when relatives flee the north of Gaza to join them.
Mr Yousaf said: "That house of 10 could potentially have 40 people in it by the end of this day with just a few plastic bottles of clean drinking water and rationing of supplies.
"So it is a human catastrophe and the international community really needs to step up."
Ms El-Nakla's aunt and uncle's home was struck by a missile
On Wednesday, Ms El-Naka's daughter Nadia said her family were facing "continual bombardment from land, sea and air".
They had hoped to escape but the Rafah border was bombed and all Israeli crossings have been shut.
All movement into and out of Gaza is controlled by the Israeli authorities, except the pedestrian-only Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt's Sinai peninsula, which is controlled by the Egyptian authorities.
This has come under bombardment from Israel in recent days and, according to the BBC's Egypt correspondent Sally Nabil, Egyptians are concerned about being dragged into the conflict.
Ms El-Nakla said: "They are just terrified, absolutely terrified, about what is to come and what is happening right now as we speak."
The Dundee City councillor admitted a number of frightening scenarios were going through her head and warned against any cuts to aid.
Ms El-Nakla also said she worried about the impact on her brother's young children, especially her eight-week-old nephew.
She added: "Every time the bombs go off his arms just flail in fear. I fear that his little heart can't take that continual bombardment."

On Wednesday the Glasgow Jewish community has held a "silent and peaceful" vigil for the victims in Israel on the steps of the Royal Concert Hall.
Among those remembered was grandfather Bernard Cowan, who was confirmed on Monday as the first Scottish victim of the Hamas assault on Israel.
Mr Cowan grew up in the Glasgow area and settled in Israel, near the Gaza border, with his wife and three children.
An official UK source told the BBC that 17 British nationals, including children, are dead or missing in Israel.
