Vietnam said Thursday it has offered 100,000 dollars to the people of the hurricane-affected areas in the southern United States, including the Vietnamese community living there.

In addition, Vietnam's Red Cross "stands ready to provide medicines and send our doctors to the affected areas to help the victims of the storm," foreign ministry spokesman Le Dung told reporters.

Vietnam's top leaders offered their condolences last week to US President George W. Bush over the huge loss of life wrought by Hurricane Katrina.
