A long-running Taliban ban on door-to-door polio vaccination teams means that one-in-three Afghan children are still not getting polio drops, creating a vulnerable pool of millions where the virus could run riot.
Three years after the militants banned house-to-house health teams operating in their territory, the edict remains in force and means around 3.4 million under-fives are missed in each vaccination drive.
The lack of access has become the biggest problem for the long-running global campaign to stamp out the crippling poliovirus. The campaign is also having to navigate a patchwork of territorial control and shifting front lines, as foreign troops leave Afghanistan and fighting intensifies.
