I've at least seen most of the major independent films out of the area and any PBS documentary on the region that comes out (like the one on child labor in Pakistan and Afghanistan). I feel I'm not making a conscious effort to be isolationist and remain completely ignorant of how they live.

From what I've seen as portrayed in these films, it isn't very good and they are between 10-150 years behind us. 10 if you are reasonably wealthy (top 1%) and 150 if you're not (90%). I'm sure what they really need is pillows. If you care about what really kills them, read the links here. Add to this family planning, and you've got all the big ones.
