Venezuela to aid Katrina victims

Venezuela's Citgo has set up humanitarian aid shelters to dispense food, water, and supplies for Katrina victims in Texas and Lousiana. Hugo Chavez has announced that he will provide victims with 1 million barrels of gasoline and an additional $5 million dollars in aid. The Bush administration has insisted that it will accept all offered aid, though it has yet to comment on Fidel Castro's offer to send 1,100 doctors to help with relief efforts. article
