Apple Pledges Donation for Nepal and Tibet Flood Relief

[MacRumors]

Apple CEO Tim Cook today pledged that the company will make a donation toward relief and rebuilding work in Nepal and Tibet, where flash floods and mudslides have killed hundreds of people.

On Wednesday, part of a Himalayan glacier collapsed, briefly damming a river before a surge of water and mud hit communities downstream. Many people are dead or missing, and roads, bridges, and homes near the Nepal–Tibet border have been destroyed.

Our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragic flash floods and mudslides in Nepal and Tibet. Apple is making a donation to support relief and rebuilding efforts on the ground.— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) August 28, 2026​

This marks Apple's fifth disaster relief pledge in just over two months, after the company supported Indonesia's earthquake recovery earlier this month and previously stepped in for crises in Venezuela, Southern Europe, and Japan.

Cook makes this pledge in the final days of his tenure as CEO. John Ternus takes over the role on September 1, when Cook will shift into the newly created executive chairman position, where he is expected to continue representing Apple on policy matters.

But you can always donate to organizations like these that have all announced they will be helping the effort:

• All Hands & Hearts
• Catholic Relief Services
• Global Giving
• Humanity & Inclusion
• Save the Children
• World Central Kitchen

These organizations will take monetary donations and provide food, shelter, medicine, etc. to those in need in the disaster areas.

It's always good to see companies like Apple donate to relief and rebuilding efforts, as affected communities in Nepal and China need all the help they can get. However, I have to admit it was quite disappointing that Apple completely overlooked Colombia after the earthquake that struck our nation three weeks ago.

All those people dead. What a tragedy. Here we are, sitting comfortably in our houses, on our "luxury" Apple devices, talking about it.

Count your blessings, everyone. It could happen to any of us.
