A prominent column of dense, dark gray smoke ascends into a clear blue sky above a densely populated area in Al-Mawasi. The smoke, indicative of an explosion or fire, rises vertically before expanding into a mushroom-like cloud at its apex. Below the smoke, a sprawling settlement or camp is visible, characterized by numerous makeshift structures, including tents and shelters, covered primarily with various colored tarpaulins in shades of blue, green, black, and white. Several black cylindrical water tanks are interspersed among these structures. Sparse green foliage and a few trees are also present within the settlement. In the mid-distance, behind the immediate settlement, some grey, permanent-looking concrete buildings are discernible. The immediate foreground is dominated by the upper section of a vertical corrugated galvanized metal structure or wall, exhibiting vertical striations and weathering. On a flat, light-colored roof immediately behind this wall, a segment of a reddish-brown pipe rests horizontally. No individuals are visible within the frame.
