Hi, The sentence “ Where Were you to see the conditions in which the refugees are living, you would be horrified” I believe you mean the sentence as amended above. ” Both convey the same general meaning, but the latter is obviously closer to the original in wording and it stresses more the hypothetical nature of the statement.

"Were you to see" and "If you were to see" can be consider the same as "If you saw".

Examples:

Were you to see the starving child in the village, then you would not oppose this food aid program.

If you saw the starving child in the village, then you would not oppose this food aid program.
