    Nobel laureate Malala Yousufzai arrived in Karachi on Tuesday to visit the flood-stricken areas of Pakistan.

    Yousufzai is being accompanied by her parents during the trip amid strict security.

    Nobel laureate and girls' education campaigner is visiting the flood-affected areas to raise international awareness regarding the devastation caused by climate change in the South Asian nation.

    Yousufzai is expected to extend assistance from the Malala Fund for flood relief.

    This is the second time that the 2014 Nobel peace prize winner has visited Pakistan.

    In October 2012, Yousafzai  was shot in the head at point-blank range by Taliban gunmen as she was returning from her school in Swat valley.

    The shooting drew widespread international condemnation.

    In 2014, Yousafzai became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17 in recognition of her efforts for children's rights.
