Eastern Congo's city of Bunia is on the brink of economic disaster as the threat of an Ebola outbreak looms large. In a bid to contain the potential health crisis, authorities have closed the city's airspace and imposed strict border controls with neighboring Uganda, severely limiting trade and commerce. The measures, aimed at preventing the spread of the deadly virus, have already taken a devastating toll on local businesses and residents, who rely heavily on cross-border trade. With the city's economy on the verge of collapse, the question remains whether these drastic measures will be enough to prevent a full-blown outbreak and restore stability to Bunia.
Bunia faces isolation amid Ebola outbreak fears, with airspace closure and Ugandan border curbs adding economic strain.
