According to the United Nations World Migration Report, the number of international migrants was estimated to be around 281 million globally in 2020.  COVID-19 has drastically altered the migration and mobility of people around the world in the past two years -- including impacting information diaspora/disinformation on migration. Climate change and major displacement events have also affected migration in the past two years: foremost have been the displacements of millions of people due to conflict (such  as within and from the Syrian Arab Republic, Yemen, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the  Congo and South Sudan), or severe economic and political instability (such as that faced by millions of Venezuelans  and Afghans).
