She moved her prescriptions to the CVS near work because she doesn’t want to get them through the mail; her village isn’t a top priority for snow removal in the winter — and her late husband’s heart medications would often get lost in the mail.“We’re losing convenience, a staple,” she said of the pharmacy, which was part of a small statewide chain before CVS bought it in 2017. “I hope another pharmacy goes in here.”

Sweeney said that’s his goal — preferably an independent one. But in the months since the closure, two promising leads have dried up, leaving the them “dead in the water,” he said.Four of Wyoming’s independent pharmacies closed last year, said Melinda Carroll, legislative director of the state’s pharmacy association. Two more, one independent and one chain, closed so far this year.Jones plans to hold out in Basin. He owns two other businesses there — a café next to the pharmacy and a grocery store, for which he cashed in some of his retirement accounts to keep it from closing.

But some 25% of the prescriptions he fills today are reimbursed for less than what he bought the medications for. Jones said he lost $30,000 between the beginning of the year and mid-May.Hence, the uncashed checks.

“I’m working for free a lot,” he said. “And I don’t mind. I love to serve the community. But I kind of resent having to do that because of large corporations, huge pharmacy benefit managers, that are making millions of dollars a year.”

It said the aim is to deter criminal gangs or militants from redirecting aid.

One of the hubs is in central Gaza, close to the Netzarim Corridor, a strip of land held by Israeli troops, according to a map issued by the Israeli military. The three others are in the area of Rafah, south of the Morag Corridor, another military-held strip.Almost the entire population is currently in northern Gaza — where no hub is currently located — or in central Gaza. They would have to cross through Israeli military lines to reach the hubs near Rafah.

Just before his resignation, Wood spoke of some adjustments, but it is not clear if Israel agreed to them.In a letter to Israeli officials obtained by the AP, Wood said that until at least eight hubs are operating, the existing U.N.-led system will continue providing food in parallel to GHF. He also said the U.N.-led system would continue in the future to distribute all non-food humanitarian aid — everything from medical supplies to hygiene items and shelter materials. GHF was not capable of handling those supplies, Wood acknowledged.
