This image depicts a scene in the city of Gaza, Palestinian Territory, characterized by heavy smoke emanating from and enveloping multi-story buildings under a clear blue sky. The foreground features a multi-level building on the left, constructed with a visible concrete frame and light-colored block infill. Several open window spaces and balconies are present, with white and dark fabrics hanging from various levels. A satellite dish is affixed to the lower left portion of this building. At least one individual is visible on a lower-middle floor of this structure, appearing to climb or navigate down the exterior, partially obscured by smoke. To the right, another multi-story residential building with a lighter facade and balconies is visible. Its upper floors are partially obscured by dense, dark gray smoke billowing upwards and outwards. Several water tanks are present on its roof, and an air conditioning unit is visible on one of its upper levels. Windows on this building appear varied, some open, some possibly boarded or covered. Thick, dark gray smoke, consistent with a substantial fire, originates from between and behind the buildings, rising towards the sky and significantly obscuring the middle and upper sections of the scene. Multiple overhead electrical or communication cables traverse the image horizontally, with some coiled and suspended elements. A small, gridded balcony is visible at the bottom center.
