Wheelchair accessibility is not bad in Marshall islands because USA influence Marshall economy, national defense and culture. Many shops have a ramp at entrance.

Many fish in a supermarket. Many Sashimi (raw fish) in the show case. Vegetables are not fresh. Yes, here is a small isolated island in Pacific islands. No land to do agriculture. All vegetables were imported from Guam and other countries. Many Japanese food (instant noodles) are also sold a lot.

Local street. Very Flat. No hill. It is a reef island. 

Many many taxi (shared) run on street. Passengers can ride on the street anywhere. No bus in this small reef island. Shared taxi is only public transportation. The price is cheep.
