I bet he did not offer humanitarian aid and sympathy to the ordinary Burmese people who have suffered at the hands of the Tatmadaw, his Junta buddies!

How much aid? It does not state the amount, so it falls into the category of PR. 

 

And was it given to an organization that can get the funds to the people? Or, was it added to the tens of billions of dollars the generals are earning on timber, gemstones, mining, Chinese investments, slavery, and the drug trade?

The "aid" ( unspecified so probably cash or convertible goods, or things of use to the military) was handed to the ambassador.

 

The ambassador represents and is appointed by the Burmese government.

 

The government is the "Tatmadaw".

More than he did when the military took office like he did.

Sometimes some things amongst "besties" are better left unsaid!

What is aid?

Money or truckloads of food?

Judging from the OP photo it's a sheet of roofing material from a cyclone station which blew over the border.
