Apple steps up yet again

Devastating rainfall across Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka has reportedly killed than 1.200 people and affected millions. At the same time, floods, landslides, strong winds, and other hazards have caused widespread displacement, agricultural losses, and devastated entire communities.

As it does in emergencies and when natural disasters strike across the world, Apple has pledged to help with relief efforts with an unspecified amount that will go towards relief and building efforts.

Here is Cook’s announcement, made earlier today on X:

His announcement comes just days after he made a similar pledge to help relief efforts following the devastating housing complex fire in Hong Kong, which in turn came months after Apple also pledged to help those affected by Hurricane Melissa.

Apple also has an internal donation program called Employee Giving, which has raised than $880 million to date through a donation matching policy.
