Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced that the company will donate to relief and rebuilding efforts across several Asian countries — including Sri Lanka — that have been battered by severe floods, landslides and strong winds in recent days.

Cook noted that devastating storms across Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka have left communities deeply affected, and expressed solidarity with those impacted. Reports indicate that more than 1,300 people have been killedand millions affected across the region due to the extreme weather.

While the exact amount has not been disclosed, Apple has pledged financial support toward immediate relief and long-term rebuilding efforts.

Cook made the announcement on X earlier today:

Apple also operates a major internal philanthropy initiative, Employee Giving, through which staff donations are matched by the company. The programme has raised more than US$ 880 million to date for various global causes.

The contribution is expected to bolster ongoing humanitarian operations in the affected countries as recovery efforts continue.
