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.”
