Investigation launched over charitable contributions made by Humza Yousaf to Gaza region
In the midst of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, questions have arisen regarding potential conflicts of interest in the Scottish Government's aid efforts. However, a thorough investigation reveals no such evidence.
The Scottish First Minister, Humza Yousaf, resigned on April 29, 2024. During his tenure, Yousaf announced that £250,000 in public funds would be sent to UNRWA, the largest international humanitarian organization working in Gaza. It is important to note that UNRWA had no role in the situation regarding Yousaf's extended family.
Reports suggest that the healthcare system in Gaza has collapsed due to the conflict, with over 88,881+ injuries reported since its onset. Hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza lack shelter, and approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced. The death toll from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 38,584+ people.
Amidst these devastating statistics, it is crucial to clarify that any suggestion of a conflict of interest in the donations made during Yousaf's time in office would be completely untrue, according to a spokesman.
The British Daily Telegraph reported the news of a review of the Scottish government's response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The review will focus on evolving future Scottish Government humanitarian funding mechanisms and processes.
It is essential to understand that the current challenges in aid delivery in Gaza are linked to Israeli policies, not Scottish government actions. International non-governmental organizations (INGOs) like CARE and Oxfam have faced Israeli restrictions on delivering aid to Gaza, with millions of dollars' worth of supplies blocked since March 2025.
The Scottish government, as of mid-2023, publicly supported a two-state solution based on 1967 borders and encouraged peaceful resolution between Israel and Palestine. However, search results do not reveal details about charitable donations or financial aid directly managed or influenced by Humza Yousaf’s office relating to Gaza during his time as First Minister.
In conclusion, the Scottish government supports a two-state solution but no data suggests specific donations linked to Humza Yousaf. The aid delivery challenges in Gaza are currently linked to Israeli policies, not Scottish government actions. No publicly available investigations or allegations of conflicts of interest involving Humza Yousaf and aid agencies in Gaza are documented at this time. The Scottish government is conducting a review of the processes involved in their response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
