  "abstract": "Today, one in six children lives in a conflict-affected area, with detrimental consequences on their physical and mental health. In conflict, polytraumas of mental and physical origin blend within a disrupted, compromised healthcare system. However, hardly any of the elements required for a professional, evidence-based paediatric rehabilitation response in crises are currently in place, despite urgent global need. This viewpoint presents challenges and knowledge gaps related to paediatric rehabilitation in conflict settings and proposes different research pathways to address some of the evident knowledge gaps. Therefore, this work calls to action humanitarian organisations, experts in the field and researchers to collaborate, collect and share key data, learn from it and develop appropriate paediatric rehabilitation guidelines.",
