Abstract
The attack on 14 July 2016 in Nice on the Promenade des Anglais caused major trauma for individuals directly or indirectly impacted by the horror of the terrorist attack, mainly families and children. It was the first time in France that a pediatric population aged from several months to 18 years was impacted by an event of such magnitude. The literature underlines the importance of taking into account, over the longer term, the side effects of such a psychotrauma in the pediatric population, especially in children under 6 years of age. From the night of 14 July 2016, a pediatric medical and psychological emergency unit (CUMP) was set up within the CHU-Lenval pediatric hospital. This has been a unique experience in Europe, which mobilized 227 caregivers. A total of 728 individuals were seen in consultations, including 385 children between 3 months and 17.7 years. The article outlines the main lines of its organization and its objectives.
