Many other aid groups rely on government grants, and dont feel comfortable sounding the alarm.

Gaza Province is a rural area in the countrys south.

It most certainly would be.

At that rate, $50 million of USAID cash would purchase 1.85 billion condoms.

Thats more than four times the number of condoms sold in the United States each year.

The total population of the Gaza Strip is 0.6 percent the size of Americas.

Its hard to picture 1.85 billion condoms.

An industrial box of condoms contains 1,000 condoms.

A pallet contains 32 boxes, or 32,000 condoms.

Shipping containers, known as TEUs, or Twenty-Foot Equivalents, each hold 10 pallets or 320,000 condoms.

If you have 1.85 billion condoms, youd have nearly 5,800 shipping containers to move.

So what about the $50 million supposedly seized by DOGE?

I just havent heard of any program like that.

Trump said at one point that Americahas actually spent$100 million on condoms to Hamas.
