The family of Nóra Quoirin has offered a reward for any information leading to the teenager's return.
15-year-old Nóra disappeared on Sunday August 4th from the Dusun Holiday Resort near Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, where she was staying with her parents.
Nóra's mother Meabh is from Belfast, while her father Sebastien is French.
Today, the family confirmed they're offering a 50,000 MYR (around €10,600) reward for any information following a donation from an anonymous Belfast-based business.
In a statement released via the Lucey Blackman Trust charity, Nóra's family said: “Nóra is our first child. She has been vulnerable since the day she was born. She is so precious to us and our hearts are breaking.
"We are appealing to anyone who has information about Nora to help us find her.
"The police have been working extremely hard to bring Nora home. In order to help their investigation, we have decided to offer a reward: 50,000R has been donated by an anonymous Belfast-based business for any information that directly helps us to find Nora."
