Default Tsunami aftermath

The last I heard the total death toll from the massive tidal wave is well
over 100,000. Worse is that many more are likely to die from disease. One
of those diseases is malaria, which has been killing millions since the
banning of DDT worldwide. Most people have heard the reasons for the ban,
but were those reasons based on sound science or hysteria?

Here are some links to articles that think it was not correct to ban DDT.

Since DDT in tiny amounts can be an effective repellant, do we not owe it to
the people suffering from the effects of the Tsunami, to allow them a better
chance at survival by letting them use DDT to help keep them from being
killed by Malaria?
