CNN —As Sudan marks the grim anniversary of a year-long conflict, aid agencies have warned that the country teeters on the edge of collapse, facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that has been largely ignored by the rest of the world.

A lack of responseDoctors Without Borders on Friday called on leaders attending the Paris conference “to immediately scale up the humanitarian response” in Sudan. “The warring parties in Sudan have inflicted tremendous suffering on Sudanese from all walks of life,” he said.

Hijabs and Helmets aims to provide education and a welcoming environment toward people new to cycling and the city - especially to Muslim women who may come from backgrounds where cycling was not the norm. The program was created three years ago to meet a community need, said Menna Badawi, a community health worker at Access Alliance Multicultural Health & Community Services and program lead for Hijabs and Helmets. The group realized "there was a gap in services for Muslim women in the community ... who are interested in cycling and kind of don't know where to go," Badawi said. "As a Muslim hijabi I did find there was a gap in recreational sports for women who look like me," she said.

Although Musk has said Tesla "does not have a demand problem", the company's latest report on deliveries showed that it made 22,000 more EVs than it delivered to customers in the third quarter. "A top concern right now is demand in China as wait times seem to be shrinking," RBC Capital Markets said. read moreAnalysts say pricing is a key factor that could help Tesla make up for a possible demand drop and boost revenue. "If there is a big sale of Tesla stock by Musk after earnings, that will be a strong sign that the Twitter deal is on the cusp of closing," said Adam Badawi, a law professor at UC Berkeley.
