I think I'm going to be ill. This is a priority of the UN? This is where our tax dollars go? When people are starving, unhoused, grieving, disease threatened...the UN wants to make sure these desperate people receive enough condoms??

FTA: "Cyclone Nargis left at least 133 000 people dead and missing, and aid groups had complained that supplies were not getting to survivors quickly enough because of limitations imposed by the ruling junta."

Now there's a problem that the UN needs to remedy and address. (stuck on stupid indeed!)

Would it be better for there to be a sudden explosion in births 10 months from now (when the country will probably barely be getting back to functional) because there was no contraception available? People *will* be having sex, that's what people do. Pregnancies will result. And even more women and their babies will die due to insufficient resources. If that can be prevented by sending condoms, that's not such a bad thing.

I'm sure this is one part of the various aide being given (or trying to give out) but this is very critical. I agree with Lexica above.

Maybe it is use for carrying or storing water in the sick mind of UN.
