US paying almost $25,000 a month to store unusable contraceptives stuck in Belgium

The U.S. is paying nearly $25,000 a month to store about $9.7 million of contraceptives in Belgium that were meant for poorer countries but are now largely unusable.
A U.S. order to move and destroy the supplies last year damaged roughly $8 million worth; the order was later reversed and the remainder remains stuck.
Donation offers (including a plan to send $1.7M to Uganda) have stalled, driving up storage costs and squandering supplies that could have prevented millions of unwanted pregnancies.
