In eastern Congo, where the economy is heavily dependent on small-scale mining, the constant movement of miners between remote sites is complicating efforts to contain Ebola.

Miners in Iga-Barrière are battling the rising cases of Ebola with their need to pay for food and rent.

Men and women work for as little as a few dollars a day. Many of them are internally displaced people from a nearby makeshift camp, and have been fleeing conflict for decades.

Others come from the surrounding towns and villages.

Miner Mechac Ngadjole Katavara, who has lost 13 members of his family, is unable to find medical treatment or vaccinations.
