Malala Yousufzai has thanked people around the world for their inspiring and humbling support to her since she was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in her hometown of Swat. A month after she was targeted, Malala’s father issued a message of gratitude on her behalf saying she wanted to thank well-wishers for helping her to survive and “stay strong”. Malala is undergoing treatment at the Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Her father, mother and two brothers meet Malala twice a day and have been housed locally. Mr Yousafzai said in a statement which was issued by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust: “She wants me to tell everyone how grateful she is and is amazed that men, women and children from across the world are interested in her well-being. We deeply feel the heart-touching good wishes of the people across the world of all caste, colour and creed.”

  1. malala im your big fan as you are able to heal a headshot by an ak47 in just 2 weeks :p

  2. Malala may not make full recovery.

    She has affliction of her right Facial and Trigeminal Nerves, evidenced by the face and the jaw turning to left. There is probably some internal swelling as a result of the infection, evidenced by her differential blink. She is likely to make recovery from this, albeit partially. There may be some reconstructive surgery required.

    The most worrying is the penetrative head injury involving a part of the brain which controls executive functions. She will most probably be left with an enduring change in her personality.

    Malala's young age of 14 is on her side. The brain growth has yet to complete. If prayers are answered and I am hopeful that they will be Insha Allah; she may make as good a recovery as to put her to a near normal state of physical and mental health.
