Mentor said it has provided some 700 insecticide-treated tarpaulins for people living in shelters in the last few days, although Canelas said it was not easy to get people to switch from their old shelters.

Working with the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Mentor said is helping to design relocation centres and would also spray them in a manner that would kill every malaria-carrying mosquito for 6-8 months, Canelas said.

Mentor, working with the Indonesian Ministry of Health, had been involved in designing relocation centres and would also spray them in a manner that would kill every malaria-carrying mosquito for 6-8 months, he said.

The group, which received $1.5 million from the British government for the work, has also deployed 150 people to spray every home in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.

About 70% of the homes had been done so far, Canelas said.After that, the group intended to move out in force to outlying areas."If need be, we will spray a whole town," he said.
