The image captures a coastal scene in Gaza City, Palestinian Territory, under a clear blue sky. The foreground consists of a wide, flat, light-gray unpaved surface, marked with dark stains and scattered small debris. Separating this area from the sea is a debris-laden shoreline. This shoreline contains irregular piles of dark material, several discarded vehicle tires, and multiple large, rusted cylindrical metal objects, resembling pipes or tanks. A single individual stands on this shoreline, near the water's edge, positioned with their back partially towards the camera, facing left. The person is wearing dark trousers and a dark red shirt, holding an object, consistent with a camera or binoculars, to their face. The sea, exhibiting light waves, occupies the central background. To the right, a substantial plume of dense black smoke rises from the immediate vicinity of the water, ascending sharply into the clear blue sky. A faint, small white circular object, consistent with the moon, is visible in the upper-left quadrant of the sky.
