Apple Pledges Support for Flood-Ravaged Pakistan

01 SEPTEMBER 2022 - Flooding is wreaking havoc across Pakistan, and Apple has pledged relief. A piece from NBC News says “monster monsoons” have left one-third of that country under water. According to the NBC report:

Pakistan’s government has said that more than 33 million people, around 15 % of the population, have been affected by the extreme weather.

The piece also says that more than 1,000 people have been killed, and roughly $10 billion worth of damage has been sustained. Now, a piece from Apple Insider says Apple’s CEO has pledged support. In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Tim Cook said:

The floods in Pakistan and surrounding areas are devastating humanitarian disasters. Our thoughts are with those that have lost loved ones, the many displaced families, and all those affected. Apple will donate to relief and recovery efforts on the ground.
