There is very few info on the net about him. But it is good to see that in spite of the sign, google maps and the businesses around the street, still call it Omar Daouk Street, he surely deserves it!Célinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220754176532664147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163396014903270733.post-44736344851817192382014-03-22T23:08:57.616-07:002014-03-22T23:08:57.616-07:00Omar Daouq was one of the true heroes of the famin...Omar Daouq was one of the true heroes of the famine of WWI. He was the head of the municipality, and almost single-handedly convinced the Ottoman Wali, 'Azmi Bey to run soup kitchens and shelters across Beirut to feed and later house the tens of thousands of starving people in the city - many of whom had come down from Mount Lebanon in search of work or food. He took over the leadership of the city after the Ottomans officially left before the Allied occupation.
