Destruction may have already started.Share full articleThe warehouse in Geel, Belgium, where millions of contraceptives bought by U.S.A.I.D. were stored when the U.S. government defunded the agency.Credit...Hilary Swift for The New York TimesBy Jeanna Smialek and Stephanie NolenAug. 7, 2025The Trump administration\u2019s plans to incinerate $9.7 million in birth control pills and other contraceptives stored in a Belgian warehouse have left European governments struggling as they try to prevent the destruction.When the Trump administration abruptly defunded and dismantled the United States Agency for International Development, or U.S.A.I.D., earlier this year, millions of contraceptives it had purchased were stuck in Geel, Belgium. The pills, intrauterine devices and hormonal implants were destined for clinics in the poorest countries in Africa.With the contraceptives in limbo, the contractor managing the supply explored selling it to outside organizations, including the United Nations\u2019 main sexual and reproductive health agency, the U.N. Population Fund. The nonprofit MSI Reproductive Choices offered to take over the warehousing and redistribute the contraceptives at no cost to the United States.But last month it emerged that the U.S. government had instead decided to burn the supplies, at a cost to the government of more than $160,000 in transport and incineration fees.\u201cU.S.A.I.D. was allegedly dismantled to prevent future wastage and to deliver value for money for the American people,\u201d said Sarah Shaw, the associate director of advocacy at MSI Reproductive Choices. \u201cIt\u2019s just egregious that they\u2019re willing to waste $9 million worth of contraceptives that are so desperately needed.\u201dShe added, \u201cWomen are going to die because they\u2019ve not had access to those contraceptives.\u201dImageOrna Angira, a nurse, working at the family planning department at Makadara Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, which has received contraceptives through U.S.A.I.D.Credit...Brian Otieno for The New York TimesImageA shelf with few family planning products at Makadara Hospital.Credit...Brian Otieno for The New York TimesThe decision to destroy the contraceptives has created alarm in Brussels and France as politicians scramble to figure out if the supplies have physically left the warehouse and how they can prevent their destruction.The State Department confirmed in a statement that \u201ca preliminary decision was made to destroy certain\u201d birth control products. It declined to say exactly why the decision was made or to specify the current location or status of the products.The department said the contraceptives that had been flagged for destruction were \u201cabortifacient,\u201d meaning that they work by inducing abortion. None of the supplies registered for storage in the Belgian warehouse fit that description, and U.S.A.I.D. was forbidden by law to purchase such products.Want to stay updated on what\u2019s happening in Belgium?

The department, in its statement, referred to policies preventing the U.S. government from providing aid to overseas nongovernmental organizations that provide or help with access to abortions, based on a rule that the Trump administration reinstated.And the United States recently refused to work with the U.N. Population Fund, citing other government policies. The dissolution of U.S.A.I.D. has created a huge gap in the supply chain of contraceptives for the world\u2019s poorest countries, because the United States was a major donor. Siobhan Perkins, who was the procurement adviser for the U.S.A.I.D. contraception supply chain, said the products slated for destruction were enough to prevent approximately 362,000 unintended pregnancies, 110,000 unsafe abortions and 718 maternal deaths.ImagePatients lining up at the pharmacy of Makadara Hospital.Credit...Brian Otieno for The New York TimesImageMakadara Hospital in Nairobi. Credit...Brian Otieno for The New York TimesThe contraceptive supplies in the Belgian warehouse would have been enough to supply Senegal for three years, Ms. Shaw, of the reproductive health group, said. Most of the products have a remaining shelf life of several years.European governments are still hoping to stop the incineration. The Belgian government\u2019s foreign office has been in talks with its American counterparts about an alternative plan.\u201cForeign Affairs is exploring all possible avenues to prevent the destruction of these stocks, including their temporary relocation,\u201d Florinda Baleci, a spokeswoman for the department, said in an email on Tuesday. She said that she could not confirm or deny whether the stock was still in Geel and that Belgium had \u201cnot officially received any information to the contrary.\u201dAttempts at negotiating a solution have, so far, been unsuccessful. The U.N. population agency spent weeks in April trying to buy the contraceptives from the United States\u2019 contractor, said Udara Bandara, the U.N. official handling those negotiations.He said the American side missed an April 25 deadline to discuss the terms of the deal and then missed another deadline on April 30. On May 8, the contractor wrote to ask if the U.N. group was still interested in the purchase. It was.Mr. Bandara said he never heard back.If the Belgian talks fall through, it is not clear what else European officials can do.ImageA clinic in Accra, Ghana, that has received contraception from U.S.A.I.D., in 2023.
