France is working to release an aid worker kidnapped in Yemen five months ago, the country's Foreign Ministry has said.
In a statement issued on Friday, the ministry confirmed that Nourane Howas, a French-Tunisian aid worker, has been adducted in Yemen since December 2015.
France was working with the International Committee of the Red Cross to secure her release, it added.
In a video released on Friday, Howas pleaded French President Francois Hollande and the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia to save her "from near death, as soon as possible."
