LONDON -- Pro-Palestinian slogans rang out at the OVO Arena Wembley on Wednesday night as 12,500 people filed the sold-out venue for Britain's biggest fundraising concert for Gaza.

The live-streamed event, Together for Palestine (T4P) -- the latest in a wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations and cultural events across the British capital -- saw tickets priced at 70 Euros ($95), raising at least $2 million by the end of the evening according to organizers.

London has seen repeated marches since the conflict began nearly 2 years ago.
Yet the Wembley fundraiser marked a new scale of mobilization -- blending celebrity activism, artistic expression, and political messaging into one spectacle.

British musician and activist Brian Eno spearheaded the concert, urging high-profile figures to lend their voices.
He told AFP that only a year ago, "no venue would accept an event with the word 'Palestine' in it."
But the landscape has shifted, he argued: "Israel thought starving a whole population would be fine with everyone ... I think that changed people's minds."
