More than one third of total annual malaria deaths occur among people living in countries affected by complex emergencies around the world. Complex emergencies occur when two evils, disaster and disease, collide. Plastic sheeting is amongst the first few aid articles to be distributed to these refugees. It creates shelter, but that's where its capabilities end. Refugees are protected from the elements, but diseases such as malaria and dengue thrive. This directly results in the deaths of thousands of innocent victims during emergencies.

When equipped with disease-control abilities, plastic sheeting becomes a highly efficient health improvement tool. ZeroFly®, the insecticide-incorporated plastic sheeting, is a single solution to the dual needs for shelter and protection against vector-borne diseases in complex emergencies.
