The European Union released on 26 May 2016 € 4 million in humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable victims of the earthquake which struck Ecuador on 16th April 2016.

The funding came on top of an initial € 1 million released only 36 hours after the disaster in April, and the mobilisation of expert teams via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism which were dispatched to crisis zones.
