An accident took his legs. He adapted his motorcycle and rides on in Pakistan, in photos
Using his savings, he modified a motorcycle with hand controls and returned to foodpanda deliveries after a road accident left him disabled.
- Today, 28-year-old Hamza Ali delivers meals across Islamabad using a modified motorcycle fitted with hand-operated controls, five years after losing both legs in a road accident.
- After a bus collided with a truck, Ali spent nearly three years job hunting in Multan, where employers consistently turned him away due to his disability before moving to Islamabad in 2023.

- Since returning to work, he has become one of the top-performing delivery riders according to colleagues, rejecting sympathy by stating, "I can earn my own living."
- While a 2023 national census reported 3.1% of Pakistanis have a disability, human rights advocates say the true figure is likely much higher, as millions face barriers to employment and social inclusion.
