The delegation, consisting of 50 MPs, has begun to prepare for departure to Cairo and then to the Gaza Strip. The members, representing 12 European countries as well as members of the European Parliament, former ministers, will present all post-war effects and the devastating impact of the siege to their parliaments and peoples.

The delegation has been said to meet with Egyptian officials and the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, to discuss the humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip-- especially in light of the ongoing siege, which "Israel" has been imposing for 4 years running.

The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza organized various Parliamentarian delegations that visited Gaza however this one is considered to be the largest delegation to visit Gaza.

According to ECESG, the main purpose of this visit is to update the representatives of the European countries on the catastrophic circumstances in which 1.5 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip.
