The visit was part of their tour in Palestine coordinated by the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy (MIFTAH) in Ramallah.

The guests met Dr. Eyad El-Sarraj, the President of the Board of Directors, who talked to them about the general psychosocial situation in the Gaza Strip and Palestine and the problems facing the Palestinian people as a result of the violations of their human rights.  The delegation expressed their support of the Palestinian people and the peace process.  They also stressed the importance of Palestinian adherence to the principles of human rights as a condition towards the continuation of aid to the Palestinian people.
