The article discusses the rising trade in coffins in the city of Bunia, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, due to the Ebola outbreak that has led to a significant increase in deaths. Coffin sales have risen from 15 per month before the epidemic to around 80, with more than 12 carpentry workshops operating in the city. This reflects the impact of the epidemic on the local economy, especially since safe burial procedures are essential to prevent the spread of infection, making the purchase of coffins a necessary expense that residents are willing to bear despite their cost, which starts at several hundred dollars.
