(CNN)Health care in Afghanistan has literally collapsed in a matter of months, disrupted by conflict and starved of foreign assistance, according to UN agencies and NGOs working in the country. Thousands of medical staff have not been paid in six months and clinics have no medicine or equipment.
The NGO Save The Children says the break down of Afghanistan's health system will result in the deaths of thousands more children under the age of five every month as winter approaches.
The absence of health care for a majority of Afghans -- especially outside the cities -- is part of a perfect storm of crises descending on the country.
