Bangkok - The United Nations will send nearly a quarter of a million condoms into cyclone-hit Myanmar to help needy survivors with no access to contraceptives, a UN official says.
So far, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) said it had sent 72 800 condoms to survivors struggling to maintain their family planning after the storm hit in early May.
A total of 218 400 condoms would be delivered, UNFPA aid advisor Chaiyos Kunanusont said.
"We don't want regular use of contraception disrupted. An emergency usually damages the health system, so people don't have access to condoms and contraceptives," said Chaiyos.

“UN Population Fund (UNFPA)”
“’We don’t want regular use of contraception disrupted. An emergency usually damages the health system, so people don’t have access to condoms and contraceptives,’ said Chaiyos.”
They are busy finding bizarre reasons to justify their existence and continued funding. What a bunch of maroons.

Now don’t make fun of this...
Let’s face it, the whole world would be better off if Myanmar had half its current population. Same with China, Pakistan, etc.

People in Myanmar are dying of starvation, lack of medicine, and don't have shelter and the bone-heads at the UN are sending...condoms. What does that tell you liberals and there prurient worship of all things deviant?

On second thoughts, I see no reason for my original contempt. The UN might be shipping the Burmese
edible condoms.

"...and the nutritional value of a condom is..." ha-ha Reminds me of a handwritten note that I once saw on a restroom condom machine. "Don't buy any of this gum. It tastes like rubber."

100,000 bodies floating in the streams and rivers, millions at risk from starvation, malaria and other diseases...the U.N. ships condoms.
Now that's good Liberal-think!

I thought the UN was sending disaster relief personnel to Myanmar, but if they are sending in condoms, I guess they are sending in peacekeeping troops. (Wouldn’t want those peacekeepers getting STDs.)
