A Palestinian man selling eggs displays his produce at the largest popular market in Gaza City on February 13, 2018. A senior United Nations official in January warned the Palestinian coastal enclave of the Gaza Strip was on the verge of "full collapse". UN Middle East peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov said a key to saving Gaza from disaster was restoring the government of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas to power there, a decade after it was forced out by the militant Islamist movement Hamas. Gaza, battered since 2008 by three wars between Israel and Palestinian militants, suffers from shattered infrastructure, a strict Israeli blockade and massive unemployment.
