Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has recently undergone her sixth surgery in the follow up of the treatment of the gunshot injury inflicted on her skull by the Taliban in Swat, Pakistan, nine years ago.

She shared her image from the hospital bed in an unknown place on the Twitter.

In her post Malala said:

"Two weeks ago, when American troops withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban took control, I lay on a hospital bed in Boston, having my sixth surgery, as doctors transferred my body to the Taliban. Healing from the damage was continued."

Nine years after being shot, I am still recovering from just one Taliban bullet. Read more: https://t.co/wrnJIEW06G pic.twitter.com/gd4oow1WIE

In 2012, Malala was 15 when she was shot in the head by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) gunmen while she was on her way home from school in Mingora, Swat.

The attack was seen as retaliation for speaking up for women's rights after girls' schools in Swat were closed. TTP took responsibility for this attack. Luckily, she survived the attack and was taken to Birmingham, England for surgery.

Today, 24-year-old Malala shared on social media that she is still recovering from injuries she suffered nine years ago.

Malala is studying in the USA while her family lives in the UK.
