> Government figures put reported Ebola cases in eastern DR Congo above 9,000 and deaths above 4,380. Officials say the true infection toll could be much higher because fear and misinformation deter people from seeking care. In Butembo, health workers report emptier clinics and fewer women seeking maternity care amid rumors that facilities spread the virus.
