Golbe Sila, chief of staff for Afar's regional president said the death toll was at least 200.
Ayish, who visited Galicoma on Monday, said many of the victims were killed by artillery fire and buried immediately.
They had been seeking shelter at an area where food aid was being stored, she said.
"Out of the 200 bodies recovered, 107 are children: 48 girls and 59 boys," she said.
"The victims are civilians who had no role in the conflict."
The head of the UN children's agency UNICEF, Henrietta Fore, said on Monday she was "extremely alarmed by the reported killing of over 200 people, including more than 100 children, in attacks on displaced families" in Afar.
