In April 2016, following a 7.8 magnitude Earthquake in Ecuador, the Chinese government donated a $2 million dollar grant and 60 million yuan (approximately $9 million) worth of relief goods. The emergency humanitarian supplies provided by China were delivered to Quito on April 27 and 28 by five charter flights, with the first arriving the morning of April 27th. The donation, which included 5,400 tents, and 9,999 folding beds, was then transported to Manta. The Red Cross Society of China helped distribute and install the aid on the ground. This project is related to the $2 million grant provided by the Chinese government (Project #51812) and a $100,000 donation from the Chinese Red Cross (Project #51814)
