Jesus Christ on a bike. You're not dropping bombs, you're dropping aid packages, which presumably you intend to survive impact. So you have to fly lower, and slower, and therefore present a nice easy target for what air defences Burma does have.
I hope no one is going to suggest bombing Burma in order to deliver aid safely

They might give in, after a big fight, but after alleviating immediate hunger I doubt anyone will ever get traction with China over Burma ever again. Or any other nasty little regime that counts China as an ally.
