Malala Yousafzai visits women at flood camps in Pakistan
Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai visited her native Pakistan for the second time since being shot by the Taliban ten years ago on Wednesday, when she spoke with those who had been affected by the country's terrible monsoon floods.

This summer's disastrous flooding, which submerged a third of Pakistan, led to the displacement of eight million people and an estimated $28 billion in damage.

Malaria, dengue, and malnutrition outbreaks among flood victims living in tens of thousands of improvised camps around the nation are also being battled by authorities.

According to a statement issued by the provincial chief minister's office, Yousafzai visited shelters in rural Sindh province where she spoke with women who had evacuated their drowned villages, praising them as "extremely brave."

She also expressed her concerns over the impact on education, with two million children missing classes and 12,000 schools damaged.

Yousafzai was just 15 years old when the Pakistani Taliban –- an independent group that shares a common ideology with the Afghan Taliban –- shot her in the head over her campaign for girls education in the Swat Valley.

She was flown to Britain for life-saving treatment and went on to become a global education advocate and the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize, winner.

The militant group, known as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), waged a years-long insurgency that ended with a major military crackdown in 2014.

But the group has resurged in the region since the Taliban returned to power in Kabul last year, with thousands of people protesting on Tuesday against the deterioration in security.
