Only one of the lifeboats was launched. Hanan Salah, a nurse on the ferry, said there was no time to help people into lifeboats; other survivors complained they had difficulty manning the lifeboats, and that some crewmembers had pushed them aside to take the boats themselves.[22] Some crew-members descended into the ship to knock on cabin doors and rouse passengers; Shaaban abu Siriya, who left his cabin because he heard crew-members shouting, said “It just sunk all at once, and I barely had time to get out”.[23]
