Why do the people of Syria keep having babies in the middle of a war ?

Well it's the only comfort they got sex. And as there is no knowing it could be their last day on earth before they get wiped out by a bomb "made by a foreign country, or by a barrel bomb" or by a chemical attack carried out by Sunni Salafist wahhabi jihadists as before, they got to make the best of each moment they got.
It's been 5 long years.
They didn't ask for foreign mercenaries to flood Syria to establish an extremely fundamentalist rule, where beheadings are gung ho, and women are mere chattel to be owned, traded, or disposed at the man's will.

Syria was secular, and the women well educated.
5 million are displaced in Neighbouring countries. 1 million have fled to Europe. Girls who would have got an university education in Syria are having to make do with marriage, because in Jordan education is very poor.
In displacement camps or inside Syria itself life is a struggle.

Well I imagine in between the barrel bombs, mustard gas attacks and the odd beheading, sticking on a johnny or taking birth control is the last thing on their minds, just getting through the odd shag must at times seem like a miracle.

That's a DAMN good question. Instead of training their rebels with weapons of war and how to fight we ought to be dropping huge containers of condoms and birth control pills.

Just like when there is a mini baby boom every time there is a blizzard-- there is nothing to do but to have sex.And they run out of contraception.

Because they don't have TVs to entertain themselves at night... or are you suggesting they should use contraceptives or abstain from sexual activities? Would you? I have a novel idea! Why don't you go over and ask THEM yourself?

Because sex is good for depression, in which case they are very depressed over the war.

Because they know relief agencies will just keep giving and giving.

exactly why they are so unpopular in my opinion. add to that 25% of babies born in uk last year were birthed by women born outside uk.
