It has emerged that brave Malala's asked "which country am I in" minutes after waking up.
In the snaps, released by her doctors at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QE), the 14-year-old can be seen with a cream shawl around her head staring intently at the camera as she lies in a hospital bed.
A yellow pipe can be seen protruding from her nose while a tracheotomy tube is visible inserted into the teenager's throat.
Faint bruising can be seen around her left eye, just below where the gunman's bullet entered her head.
A spokesperson for the QE said that it had released the image with the family's consent.
It is just ten days since she was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman
The courageous 14-year-old was airlifted to Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital after she was attacked on a school bus in Pakistan on October 9.
Today it was announced that she stood up with the help of medical staff on Thursday just two days after being brought out of a chemically induced coma.
Minutes after regaining consciousness Malala communicated with doctors by writing on a note pad: “What country am I in?”
Dr David Rosser, Medical Director at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, said: "Malala is still showing some signs of infection which is probably related to the bullet track which is our key source of concern.
"She is doing very well and in fact she's now standing with some help for the first time.
"When I came to see her this morning she was communicating very freely.
"Our specialist teams are taking a view that she needs a couple of weeks to rehabilitate to make sure this infection is cleared up and to make sure she is out of the woods.
"On Tuesday afternoon the first thing she asked the nurses was which country she was in.
"There is every sign that she understands why she is here.
