    Disaster at Myanmar? Quick - send them condoms!

    Via Curt Jester and the Anchoress, something I just can't understand:

    220 000 condoms off to Myanmar

    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.

    "Needy survivors" who need .... condoms?! "Struggling survivors" who struggle ... to maintain their family planning?! How does this sort of decision make any sort of sense in even a secular perspective?

    Oh that's right. I guess it's future disaster prevention. Because if there are less people, there are less fatalities.
