The extremely heavy end of the already disastrous year for Croatia. The Petrinja area has been hit by 374 tremors since 28 December, including 109 over the past two days, the Zagreb Faculty of Science Department of Geophysics said on Saturday.

The strongest one struck Petrinja, Glina and Sisak at 12.19 p.m. on 29 December, measuring 6.2. on the scale.

The earthquake took seven lives and left thousands injured and without a home.

The news broke in Toronto, Canada as well, where Neil Green, a Canadian veteran, joined N1's Ika Ferrer Gotic from, explaining why he is on a mission to raise funds to help those struck by the earthquake.
