Egypt fostered the cooperation ties with Ecuador through its contribution   to relieving the aftermath of Ecuador's two disasters, Tungurahua volcano and the shores affected by the floods. The Egyptian Red Crescent presented medical assistance to the Ecuadorian victims of the two natural catastrophes.

The assistance, though symbolic, was appreciated by Ecuador. The Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry highlighted the event by publishing a statement, referring to its importance as being suitable for the conditions of the sufferers. The aid amount to nearly 50 thousand Egyptian Pounds, and was sent on 6 June.
