Me too, I think it should be eliminated. The earthquake happened in Port-au-Prince. Around Port-au-Prince, in a 100 km diameter, people meet that definition. But Haiti is a very small country. So when two million people have to move and leave their place of residence, the other places don't have the necessary infrastructure to take them in. So there is another kind of earthquake happening in those places.
On April 27th, 2010. See this statement in context.
