Lack of people

With the amount of people displaced by the typhoon... as a quick aside to keep everyone on the same page:

typhoon
tropical storm: a violent tropical storm in the western Pacific and Indian oceans
hurricane
1. severe storm: a severe tropical storm with torrential rain and extremely strong winds. Hurricanes originate in areas of low pressure in equatorial regions of the Atlantic or Caribbean, and then strengthen, traveling northwest, north, or northeast.
2. high wind: a wind of above 119 km (74 mi) per hour, classified as force 12 or above on the Beaufort scale
monsoon
1. rainy season: a period of heavy rainfall, especially during the summer over South and Southeast Asia
2. heavy rain: a very heavy fall of rain ( informal )
cyclone
1. meteorology large-scale storm system: a large-scale storm system with heavy rain and winds that rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere around and toward a low-pressure center.
2. meteorology violent storm: a violent rotating windstorm or tornado

Now that we have that out of the way. With the amount of people displace in typhoon Durrian and the other 4 in the Philippines over the last few months, why are there only that many people there helping?

There needs to be more people. There needs to be more help. The successes and wins are miracles time and time again. There is a minimum of 40,000 displaced and that's only from the last 2 typhoons.
