Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the company will donate to relief efforts in Venezuela after multiple earthquakes devastated La Guaira earlier this week. The seismic events on Wednesday night killed hundreds and injured thousands, making it one of the region's deadliest recent disasters.

Cook shared the news on social media Friday, expressing condolences to victims while confirming Apple's financial support for ground relief operations. The company's response follows a pattern of disaster aid contributions during humanitarian crises.

La Guaira, Venezuela's primary port city near Caracas, suffered the brunt of the damage. Rescue teams continue searching for survivors amid collapsed infrastructure and disrupted communications across the affected region.

Apple's donation adds to international aid flowing toward Venezuela, though the company hasn't specified the amount. Major tech firms increasingly act as rapid-response donors during natural disasters, leveraging their financial resources for humanitarian impact.
