Apple pledges support after devastating floods
Tonight, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company will donate to support relief and rebuilding efforts after flash floods and mudslides that killed hundreds of people in Nepal and Tibet.

Cook’s pledge comes just days after Apple said it would donate to support Indonesia’s earthquake relief efforts, and follows similar donations the company has made in recent months in response to emergencies in Venezuela, Southern Europe and Japan, among others.
In addition to stepping up to natural disasters and other emergencies, Apple also has an internal donation program called Employee Giving, which raises awareness. More than 880 million dollars Until now through the donation-matching policy.
