It's also a xenophobic government; why else did it kick out all journalists before it <a href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/slorc.htm" rel="nofollow">mowed down the democracy activists</a> 20 years ago. Therefore, it's not surprising that all of the above means more to the junta than the well-being of its citizenry.

They have followed an agressivly isolationist policy. This Junta isn't exactly the most popular in the world, among it's people. They are accepting donations in kind, and are putting stickers on them, to obscure their origins and say they are being sent by various generals in the junta. Moreover, they are sending relief, not to where it's most needed but to where they have the most support--food as a weapon and propaganda tool. Horrible, but common in third world dictatorships. They would be better served to use their military to bring the relief supplies to where it is most needed, in a highly visible way, and tell the people that despite their distrust of the rigime, the Gov. still cares for them--it would help them out more than anything else. They don't want forign relief workers distributing aid because they would lose control over where it went, and because they feel it would weaken their hold over the people--which is maintained by all the classic tools of dictatorship.
