Our story

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.
