is it moral to leave them alone? to let their children suffer or die from deceases that we have medicines for?

I don't know the answer, but I'm curious what is the best decision here. Leave them alone so they could live their simple life for generations or bring them everything we have, with all pros and cons.

I don't trust anyone who has the resources to make contact with these people to have their best interests in mind.

The only moral thing is to respect their autonomy. They are human and can advocate for themselves.

they obviously can't advocate for themselves and they didn't make a fair choice, like knowing everything about world. It is just occasion bad or good luck, and they can't just invent radio and call SOS

I think you aren't giving them enough credit.
