In the early stages, because their ports of entry and airport were badly damaged by the earthquake. They are still not fully functional and therefore can't accommodate extra supply planes and cargo ships.
The idea is that by sending money instead, the people of Haiti can rebuild their lands and agricultural system thereby also stimulating their economy.
Also, because with money they can buy anything they might need, as if people donated supplies they may get too much of one thing or another, and money is just a more universal alternative.
