the goverments of the wealthiest countries never gave their hands to...
А вот "пострадавшие районы" -- очень зависит, от чего пострадавшие. Если от стихийное бедствия, можно disaster regions.
Вот варианты из Multitran:
общ. пострадавшие от бедствия районы devastated areas
экон. район, особенно пострадавший от мирового экономического кризиса depressed area (1929-1933 гг., англ.)
экол. район, пострадавший в результате стихийного бедствия disaster-stricken area
стр. район, пострадавший от стихийного бедствия disaster zone

the governments of the richest nations will forget all about the regions that suffered
or possibly:
the regions struck by disaster (depending on the context)

I think the \"the wealthiest governments\" means the same thing as \"the governments of the wealthiest countries\".

the governments of the richest countries have paid no attention to suffering/impoverished regions
Modality is an issue, as is the transaltion of the idiomatic expression.

: can "never" be used here with perfect tense? In my dicts, only with Past Simple, so I'm just curious. Or does not really matter?

On third thought, I probably would not use "never" but "...paid no attention at all..." for emphasis.
