At the heart of the dispute is the removal of the role of Waste Recycling and Collection Officers (WRCO), who were paid more than some other bin workers.

For hundreds of hours over the course of the trial, Le Scouarnec has come face to face with dozens of his victims and their relatives.Many of them became emotional as they described how the abuse they endured shaped their lives; several said they have suffered from eating disorders, anxiety, depression or addiction.

"You got into my head, it's destroyed me, I became a whole other person I don't recognise anymore," Le Monde newspaper reported one victim as saying.One of the few victims who had memories of the abuse sustained at the hands of Le Scouarnec said that she was relieved when police contacted her to say her name appeared in the former surgeon's diaries."I have been waiting for your call for 30 years," she said, according to Le Monde.

The newspaper also told the story of another victim who had no recollection of the abuse but said she nonetheless was "convinced" she had been raped. "I wanted to die without even knowing why. He stole my youth," she told the court.Throughout the trial Le Scouarnec has apologised to his victims, often acknowledging that his acts had been "revolting".

Romane Codou, a lawyer representing several victims, told French media that his admission of guilt had "appeased" the victims and "allowed them to shut the door on an awful debate in which we were at the mercy of Joel Le Scouarnec".

A section of the trial was devoted to the cross-examination of medical professionals who worked in the same establishments as Le Scouarnec.Alaa, who is originally from northern Gaza, said he had had to move around 20 times over the course of the 19-month war and could not afford to buy a tent for shelter.

Previously imprisoned for taking part in anti-Hamas protests in 2019, Alaa said Hamas needed to leave."Resistance was not born with Hamas, and even if Hamas is gone, there will be other faces of resistance [to the Israeli occupation]. But this current policy will cost us all of Palestine and the nation."

"We just want our children to live in peace, and we deliver a message to the whole world, to try their best in pressuring Israel and Hamas so we can save us and our children from this war."In Gaza, public criticism of Hamas carries significant risks.
