Apple has long supported crisis areas around the world. In similar cases, the company usually cooperates with the International Committee of the Red Cross, to which it regularly contributes to providing emergency aid, medical supplies and the restoration of basic infrastructure. According to local media, the earthquake that hit the Southeast Asian region claimed dozens of lives and caused extensive damage to buildings and transport infrastructure. Apple has previously been involved in humanitarian aid, for example after the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, Hurricane Ian, and the fires in Hawaii. The company continues its tradition of quickly supporting regions affected by disasters.
This is a shot in the dark, stuffing money into a country where the military ruling power is blocking aid to areas that were affected by the earthquake is pointless.
