Chart really makes it looks like this happens every 10-20 years, and I doubt anything was changed those times it happened. The huge spike this time is because we had a global pandemic that started in 2020 and kept everything low

A lot of natural disasters drove people out of their own countries too. And they're only becoming more frequent.
