WW1: The Famine of Mount Lebanon

24 October 2014 Last updated at 08:05 BST

As a proportion of the total population, more people died in Greater Syria than anywhere else in the

world during the First World War.

In Mount Lebanon, a semi-autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire, a third of the population

died of famine and disease.

As part of a BBC series looking at stories beyond the trenches, BBC Arabic's Carine Torbey visited

the region to recount a story of suffering and survival.
