Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / The role of religion in social development

English term or phrase: ...poor and suffering neighbors

I can't seem to come up with the right wording for this. Here's the entire paragraph:

Various participants remarked how religion inspires them to work for the transformation of society. In the workshop on Muslim tradition, a participant identified prayer as a source for solidarity with poor and suffering neighbors. And in a workshop focused on Christian tradition, a participant observed that being “created in the image of God” provides an awareness of all people being equal and connected.

vecinos pobres y los que sufren

Explanation:
los que son pobres, y los que sufren por una enfermedad o la pérdida de un ser amado. Normalmente "suffering" se asocia con una enfermedad (dolor físico).

5 hrs confidence:

prójimo pobre y sufriente/que sufre

Explanation:
solidaridad/compasión hacia un prójimo pobre y sufrido/dolorido, etc.

Interpreto que dentro del contexto, el sentido de 'neighbor' es más bien universal/global (prójimo) que local. (vecino).

la población que sufre con la pobreza
