Abdullah Al Khateeb can’t believe journalists never ask him about his love life. By the time I interview him at noon on a Monday, he has already spoken to six newspapers that week about his human rights work in Syria’s Yarmouk Refugee Camp. He says that in all his conversations about the war, Palestinian rights, death threats and his ongoing activism, not once did anyone ask if he has a girlfriend.
‘It’s question, answer, question, answer. No-one seems concerned with whether I have somebody to love,’ he says at the end of our conversation.
