Regional Media Headlines: Cuban Help Proposal to US
Havana, Sep 3 (Prensa Latina) Regional media outlets have praised and widely covered the solidarity gesture of the Cuban government and people to offer medical and material aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The unconditional stance taken by Havana was widely covered by main newspapers and radio and television stations in Peru, Nicaragua and Bolivia.
El Comercio, one of the majors newspapers in Peru, headlined "Fidel Castro offers aid to the US," and included a picture of the Cuban president.
The RPP radio-television station reported that Cuba would send 1,100 doctors and 24 tons of medicines to Katrina-stricken people in the US.
Asked on the Cuban gesture, a Peruvian citizen said, "that is common in Cuba, as it has taken a similar stance when natural phenomena have occurred in other countries. Today, there are no disasters in Latin America and Africa but thousands of Cuban doctors are working there.
In Nicaragua, Nuevo Diario daily published that Cuba offered doctors to the US irrespective of political and ideological disputes and in compliance with its international policy of cooperation to fight natural disasters.
According to the paper, Cuba has always helped nations in need, as it did with the US when it was the target of terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
La Primerisima, La Nueva Radio Ya, Sandino and 580 radio stations cited reports foreign agencies made on the proposal by President Fidel Castro.
Havana´s gesture of solidarity was also extolled by Bolivian media, which made reports and editorials on the news.
"Cuba offers the US 1,100 doctors to treat victims," headlined La Razon de La Paz paper, while various television news stations showed images of the roundtable in which Fidel Castro made the announcement.

Maybe the fact that Cuba gets an awful lot more hurricanes than Anerica does has something to do wuth it.
We don't hear it being reported, but I'll bet the US sends aid to them everytime they have a hurricane, so it is in Castro's best interests, for future emergencies, to offer the US aid.
Tit for tat.
Yes I have heard of the US offering help to Cuba every time they are in Crisis, whether they accept it or not I dont remember. But I thought this was odd when Castro of all people offered help to us! And I didnt know but he had offered help right after 9-11 also. Whether we accepted it or not I dont recall that either.
Maybe Castro is getting soft in his old age?
I just found this funny, and I'm sure after offering us help Castro probably went back to blasting the US over whatever it is he continues to ramble on about us at any given moment lol.. This tickles me.
