Health workers in Kinshasa are warning that misinformation is endangering efforts to contain an Ebola outbreak, according to Allafrica.com. The false narratives are spreading rapidly through local networks, complicating public health responses.

The World Health Organization's global nursing head has flagged the dangers of misinformation after the killing of a Congolese Ebola nurse, Bloomberg reports. This highlights the increasing risks faced by healthcare personnel in conflict zones.

Meanwhile, tensions rise between DR Congo and Rwanda as Kinshasa accuses Kigali of flouting a peace pact, with US sanctions deemed justified by the Democratic Republic, per Yahoo.com. The regional dynamics add complexity to the humanitarian crisis.
