A human connection became a collective refusal to look away
Before there was an organisation, there was a family, a community and the conviction that solidarity could become practical capacity.
Where it began
A mobilisation rooted in a real situation
In 2025, citizens in Brittany mobilised around Yaser Al Rayyes and his family in Gaza. Time, skills, public attention and countless individual gestures were brought together around one concrete humanitarian pathway.
This experience exposed both the strength of solidarity and the difficulty of turning it into coordinated medical, administrative and institutional action.
From solidarity to structure
Three turning points
Attention became capacity for action
The organisation grew from experience, not from an abstract project.
01 · Mobilise
A community gathers
Local groups, volunteers, associations and supporters relay the family’s situation and organise practical solidarity.
02 · Coordinate
A pathway takes shape
Medical, administrative, humanitarian and diplomatic contacts reveal the need for a reliable coordination framework.
03 · Structure
Human Sea Bridge is created
On 16 February 2026, field experience becomes an organisation dedicated to reopening access to care and education.
A collective story
Hundreds of gestures made the first pathway possible
Stalls, handcrafted objects, fundraising, translation, advocacy and patient follow-up: each contribution had a place.
What remains
The human link is still our starting point
The scale of the organisation may grow, but its role remains precise: understand the situation, document what matters, connect the right actors and make the next realistic step possible.
Independent media have documented this journey over time, providing an external record of the mobilisation and its transformation.
