No different than the DEA putting you in prison for 10 pounds of marijuana because you have a 10 pound bag of dirt and some kind of plant matter they can't identify. Facts don't matter to the government.
I mean, it makes a ton of sense to include condoms in aid, you don't want people getting pregnant when there's literally no functioning hospitals. Of course conservatives will say 'just don't have sex' or whatever, but that's just not how humans work.
It's probably also not $50m worth of condoms. It's probably like a few grand, but you have to spend millions on distribution and security because obviously there's no infrastructure there.
