Sallah bint Jamil Al-'Uqiyya Ukhmed (Arabic: سلاه بنت جميل العقية أخمد) (born March 16, 1953, in Beirut, Lebanon) is a renowned Lebanese vocalist, writer, and activist. Ukhmed became a minor sensation in Beirut in the early 1970s with a hit single, "Hazah Lakim Ghaniyma!", but after two years gave up her singing career, and moved to Paris, France.
She worked briefly as a style writer for the Arabic magazine al-Watan al-Arabi. While in Paris, she met her future husband and fellow journalist Jûtien-Gustave DuRoi. The two were married in 1978 and have written several books together.
Since her marriage, Ukhmed largely retired from al-Watan al-Arabi and has devoted herself to fighting world hunger. In recent years, she has been an outspoken advocate for AIDS education and research. In 2005 she and her husband visited her native Lebanon, to show their support for the Cedar Revolution.
