After landing in Lahore, he tweeted, “That wonderful feeling of arriving back home in Pakistan never gets old.”
Malala’s last visit
Malala last visited Pakistan two months ago when she toured the flood-affected areas of the country.
His visit in October – only the second since he was flown to the UK for life-saving treatment – came as thousands protested in Swat.
Yousafzai was only 15 years old when the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) shot her in the head for her campaign for girls’ education.
The Malala Fund said in a statement that her visit was aimed “to help focus international attention on the impact of the floods in Pakistan and reinforce the need for critical humanitarian assistance.”
Meeting the flood victims
In her visit to Dadu, Malala Yousafzai praised the bravery and resilience of flood-affected women.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai told flood-affected women that they were brave because she heard their plight due to the climate disaster.
The 25-year-old girl’s education activist visited Chandan, a flood-hit area of Johi in Dadu district, where she interacted with flood victims and inspected a tent city.
“You are all going through a difficult time,” he told the victims.
The education worker was accompanied by Sindh Health Minister Ezra Fazal Pechuho, Education Minister Sardar Shah and singer-turned-activist Shahzad Rai.
