I'd like to add even more context: ~45% of Palestine is under the age of 14.
Is condom use against their religion?
Palestinians do not have consistent access to clean water, no I don't think they have consistent access to condoms.
They do.
FYI links to her study, about Demography, not access to contraception - lead to a 404 page.
Here's a prrtty informal survey about Gazan access to contraception, it sort of suggests they have, like I said, inconsistent access to contraception.

The article you linked to makes many excellent points. When you're poor, bored, and chock full of bombing-induced PTSD, having many kids is seen as a good idea.
