A few days ago a video was circulating of an explosion whose shock wave devastated hundreds of neighborhoods. The news reported that there had been a major explosion in the Port of Beirut. 2.750 tons of ammonium nitrate had exploded causing hundreds of deaths and thousands of people had been left without their personal property. The tragedy is served and Apple has not wanted to look the other way and He has announced that he will help the Lebanese people.
We have counted many times that Apple it is not just another technology company. It is a group of people committed to the environment, equality, solidarity and against racism. Apple has carried out numerous aid campaigns for the most disadvantaged sectors or those who have found themselves in an adverse situation at a specific moment. It has permanent campaigns such as its RED products, but it also initiates campaigns such as the recent creation of the Equality and racial justice initiative.
With the coronavirus pandemic, efforts to help others have not been left behind. It has made millionaire money donations, created aid programs, updated applications to benefit users, created face masks ... and now with the tragedy that occurred in Beirut as a result of the explosion, it was not going to be less.
Tim Cook has announced through the social network Twitter that Apple is committing resources to short-term and long-term relief efforts in Beirut. Apple's CEO did not specify how much the company would donate, but it is common for Apple to provide millions of financial support to disaster relief efforts. As we have already told you before. It is not daunted and for money it will not be, the truth.
Apple is donating to relief organizations that are helping with immediate needs and long-term support in Beirut. We grieved with the people of Lebanon, our employees and all those affected by the tragedy.

Apple is always up to the task in these situations. It is something to be very grateful for in these times.
