Salma Abdelaziz is an award-winning International Correspondent for CNN, based in London. With over a decade of experience reporting on frontlines from Syria, Iraq, Yemen to Israel, Gaza and the West Bank to Ukraine and Afghanistan, she has delivered distinctive coverage of some of the most consequential stories of our time.

Abdelaziz’s reporting focuses on the humanitarian impact of conflict and crisis, particularly on those from marginalized communities. Her journalism puts the voices of those on the ground ahead of political statements from the halls of power. She often uses the lens of race, class, identity and lived experience to contextualize news events to a multi-platform audience. Prior to her on-air role, Abdelaziz worked behind the camera as a Field Producer on some of CNN’s toughest and most dangerous assignments.

She has won multiple Emmys and three Peabody Awards, among other accolades. Abdelaziz was born in Egypt, raised in the US but now calls London home.
