large crowd of people gathered in the Al-Qusour neighborhood of Homs, Syria, centered around a man in a black outfit standing on a platform, likely a podium. The man is holding a white flag inscribed with Arabic lettering. To his left, a crowd of people holds aloft a large flag with the colors of the Palestinian flag (green, black, white, red) and the emblem of the Palestinian Authority. He is being raised up in the air by a group of men. The background shows a densely built urban environment with several buildings showing damage, indicative of the ongoing civil war in the area. The sky is blue and clear. There are several streetlights with light bulbs visible in the image. There are many trees in the background. The crowd is mostly composed of men, and many are holding cell phones. The crowd's attire is typical of Arab culture. The overall image portrays a sense of celebration and community unity.
