"Saturday, September 3, 2005 (Havana):
Cuban President Fidel Castro announced in a live television broadcast on Friday that he had issued a second offer to the United States to send 1,100 Cuban doctors to help care for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Castro said the first 100 doctors were ready to travel as early as Friday night to Houston, Texas, where many of the hurricane victims have been evacuated.
The Cuban leader said his government was hoping for a rapid response to the offer.
Castro said a diplomatic note containing the offer was sent late on Friday afternoon to the US Interests Section, the American mission in Havana, and was the second such offer of its kind made this week.
Castro said the first offer of Cuban doctors for hurricane relief efforts was made during a meeting with Cuban foreign ministry and US officials in Havana on Tuesday, days before the extent of the hurricane's catastrophic damage was known.
At the time, US officials had asked Cuban authorities not to publicise their offer of aid, said Castro.
But Castro indicated the deepening of the human suffering in New Orleans and other US Gulf Coast cities had compelled him to repeat the offer.
Currently, there are tens of thousands of Cuban doctors working on goodwill missions in developing nations, especially in Venezuela and Haiti, as well as in Africa. (AP)
