The US is turning into an SNL skit

USAID reports show no condoms sent to Middle East despite White House claim

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has told reporters, without providing any evidence, that President Trump’s new so-called Department of Government Efficiency “found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza”.

Leavitt made the claim at a news conference on Tuesday to support a sweeping freeze on US funding for aid programmes around the world, which will also cut US funding for humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip.

However, a detailed report on US Agency for International Development (USAID) contraceptive funding for 2023, shows the US did not fund any condoms for the entire Middle East Region that year.

A September 2024 media release from USAID detailing how $336m in humanitarian assistance to Gaza and the occupied West Bank would be spent makes no mention of contraception or family planning.

Instead, it said the funding covered “life-saving humanitarian aid, including vital food assistance, expanded support in emergency healthcare, nutrition, psychosocial services, and increased access to safe drinking water, hygiene products, and sanitation services”.


The US spend over 22 billion dollars on bombing Gaza and related 'security' operations. Quick, spread more disinformation about 50 million wasted on non existent condoms.... Deflection at its finest.

161 million tax returns filed, every American tax payer has contributed over $135 each to genocide.
