UK MP Layla Moran has revealed that her family, including her grandmother, son, daughter-in-law, and 11-year-old twins, are among hundreds of civilians trapped in the Holy Family Church in Gaza City. They sought refuge in the church after their home was bombed, but now face dire conditions with no access to food or water.
