NIEUWS NEDERLANDS PALESTINA KOMITEE

"No one can simply look on the daily killing of children, women, man and to the destruction of houses, infrastructures, schools, mosques, churches. No one can stand anymore the siege imposed on the Palestinian population of Gaza. Our message is total cease fire, no bombs, no troops, no rockets. And then real concrete actions to
end the occupation on the Palestinian territories of 1967" declared VP Luisa Morgantini.
The delegation - that is composed by 8 MEPs belonging to different political groups and by one Member of the Italian Senate- will stay in Gaza Strip from Saturday 10 to Tuesday 13 January, when the MEPs will come back to Strasbourg to report back about the situation to the Plenary session of the EU Parliament and they will hold a press conference.

In Gaza the delegation will be staying with UNRWA and visit refugee camps, hospitals and towns.
The MEP are grateful to the Egyptian Authority and Unrwa for their cooperation and
support.
