What exactly is the differnce between Jordan Valley (Middle East) and Jordan Rift Valley? Why do we need 2 article s to describe essentially the same thing? Isarig 23:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my comments at the Jordan Rift Valley and read the sources cited throughout both articles. Tiamat 16:12, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Error re population

The figures given in the text for the population of the Jordan Valley from the CIA Fact Book refer to the Jordanian side of the Jordan Valley, while this article is about the land on the other side of the Jordan river, which has been under Israeli control since 1967. IOW, the land on either side of the Jordan river can be and is referred to as the Jordan Valley. The two should not be confused. I don't have good population figures for the Israeli-controlled portion of Jordan Valley or I would put them in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.4.9 (talk) 19:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there are conflicting claims about the population of the Valley before 1967. There is a EU report claiming that there used to be "between 200,000 and 320,000 people" living there before the Six Day War, but the Israeli census of the time talks about 9,078 people in the Jericho district. Of course, this was after the war, so all the people who fled then were already unaccounted for.Froy1100 (talk) 16:43, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
