Malala Yousafzai, 15-year-old Pakistani girl, who was shot a month ago, would soon undergo reconstructive surgery in the UK, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UAE Jamil Ahmad Khan has told Khaleej Times. Khan said the surgery could be done “within weeks”. “Doctors just want to make sure her brain tissue has healed enough and is ready to accept a patch.” He also said she was walking, talking and even reading at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where she was flown by air ambulance provided by General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, crown prince of Abu Dhabi and deputy supreme commander of the UAE Armed Forces, after being shot at close range by Pakistani Taliban in Mingora. Malala, who the Taliban said was punished for studying, barely survived the attack with the bullet travelling through her head, neck and then lodging in her shoulder.
