Why do Muslim charities generally attend to the needs of Muslims only? Why are Muslims in need more likely to receive help from Western and Chrisitan charities?

Muslims are not told to assist non-Muslims. To do so is a waste of money, because unbelievers are going to Hell anyway. The Quran and Hadith order money to flow either between Muslims or from non-Muslims to Muslims (the jizya in Quran 9:29).
Neither is the Islamic community particularly keen on disaster relief, even for Muslim victims. This is because the Quran teaches that the disasters which befall communities are a punishment from Allah.
