Malala in Pakistan 10 years after she was shot
Karachi: Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize winner, survived the Taliban assassination attempt, arrived in Pakistan after 10 years. Malala has returned to her hometown to visit the victims of the disaster in Pakistan, which is facing the worst flood in her history.
According to the World Bank, Pakistan suffered a loss of nearly $ 40 million due to the flood. Malala is now visiting her homeland to bring aid to Pakistan, which has suffered so much damage.
About eight million people were displaced after the flood. Reports also claim that they are now facing serious health problems.
Malala’s charity, the Malala Fund, said in a statement that the visit aimed to focus international attention on the impact of the floods in Pakistan and strengthen the need for key humanitarian assistance.
Malala was killed by the Taliban for supporting girls’ education. Malala was 15 when Taliban militants shot her. Malala is setting foot in Karachi two days after 10 years of the attack.
Malala’s life was saved by taking her to Britain, which was in critical condition after being shot at. She later became a global advocate for education. Malala is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Malala’s visit comes as people, including former students from Malala’s school in the Swat Valley, protest the escalation of violence in her hometown of Mingora.
Previously this place was under strict control of the Pakistani Taliban. In 2014, the Pakistani government took control of the region. But when the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan last year, terrorist activities resumed here.
Recently, foreign media reports that there have been attacks on security forces in the Swat Valley. Earlier in the day, an attack on a school bus left the driver dead and injured a child, AFP reported.
