An elevated view captures a densely built urban area in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, under a partly cloudy sky. The landscape consists of numerous residential and commercial structures of varied sizes and conditions, predominantly featuring concrete block construction with corrugated metal roofs in silver, grey, and reddish-brown tones. In the mid-ground, a prominent reddish-brown building with a dark grey pitched roof and two visible, dark-framed window openings dominates the lower-center left. Adjacent to this building's left, an unpaved road or dirt path is visible, bordered by a light blue corrugated metal fence or wall. Along this path, several individuals are present; one is identifiable in a yellow top and dark bottoms, another in a white top, and a small group is gathered near the blue fence, where white sacks are also discernible. The urban sprawl extends towards the horizon, where distant hills and mountains are visible. Electrical wires crisscross between buildings. Scattered trees and vegetation are interspersed throughout the dense architectural fabric.
