I was waiting for all the conspiracy theories to come out and funny enough I have already heard people locally saying the same thing, however I lean towards 'natural disasters happen':

Security "Red Zones" in Haiti Preventing Large Aid Groups from Effectively Distributing Aid
As thousands of well-equipped US soldiers pour into Haiti, there is an increasing concern about the militarization of the country, supporting the soldiers and not the people. Or, as one doctor put it, "people need gauze, not guns." We take a look at aid distribution in Haiti and the effect on Haitians fighting to survive in the aftermath of the earthquake. Ref. Source 1

Some of these Hatians really have staying power in survival mode. Yesterday rescuers were amazed about survivor they pulled from under a building after 10 days, the man was like a skelenton. Now you have one survivor after 11 days!

Another miracle or a make up story? It is reported that a young man has been rescued 27 days after the earthquake hit Haiti.
QUOTE A man rescued in Haiti may have spent the past 27 days trapped in rubble, it was reported today.
The news came 11 days after the last survivor was rescued, following the devastating 12 January earthquake, which killed as many as 200,000 people.
The family of Evan Muncie reportedly told doctors at a Port-au-Prince hospital yesterday that the 28-year-old had been trapped in the wreckage of a market since the quake.
His apparent recovery is all the more remarkable as the Haitian government declared an end to search and rescue operations on 23 January, 16 days before Muncie was reportedly found.
A BBC reporter in Port-au-Prince said he had spoken to the man's mother, who confirmed Muncie had been missing since the quake.
Dr Dushyantha Jayaweera, from the University of Miami field hospital, told Reuters TV that his survival in the rubble would be "unusual but not impossible".
"He was quite dehydrated and he was wasted, so there are certain things that suggest that it's true."
According to CNN, the field hospital diagnosed Muncie as suffering from dehydration and malnutrition, but said he did not appear to have significant crushing injuries.
"He was emaciated. He hadn't had anything in quite some time. He had open wounds that were festering on both of his feet," Dr Mike Connelly told CNN.
Connelly said the people who brought Muncie to hospital had found him while digging out the marketplace....
