No, you can't use it the way it is.

Somewhere the white wire has become disconnected. You must trace the
circuit and repair it. Aside from not working, it is a potentially
dangerous situation and I would recommend not using that circuit until it is
fixed.

Fortunately it is also a very simple problem and should not require an
electrician if you read up a bit on electrical. (It is possible that the
wire has broken inside a wall and that would be a major job; but it is also
very unlikely.)
