Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced that the company will make donations to relief and rebuilding efforts across several Asian countries including in Sri Lanka that were hit by floods, landslides and strong winds in recent days.

The Apple CEO noted storms across Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka have devastated communities and thoughts are with those affected.
