The African Union mission in Sudan is investigating reports that government forces have bombed a town in the Darfur region, in violation of the ceasefire.
The AU is trying to get both sides to respect the ceasefire
..
The head of the mission told the BBC that AU monitors had tried to reach the town of Shangil Tobaya on Thursday.
He says they were turned away by Sudanese soldiers who told them the area was not safe.
Earlier an AU official said about 100 people had been killed in an air raid on Wednesday night.
Another hinted that government planes had carried out the bombing. The rebels do not have an air force.
The head of the AU mission in Sudan, Baba Gana Kingibe, said the monitors would try again to reach the area on Friday.
AU monitors are also investigating reports that 100 more people were killed in a militia raid last week.
Wednesday's incident occurred in an area where the government has accused rebels of mounting recent attacks
'Women and children'
"The planes were flying very low just south of El-Fasher and then the explosions were heard from that direction," one aid worker told Reuters news agency.
"The majority of the victims were women and children. We are extremely concerned," a spokeswoman for the UN envoy to Sudan, Jan Pronk, told the BBC.
Britain's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw condemned the "reprehensible" attack and said it went against the spirit of a recently-signed agreement between the government and southern rebels to bring peace to the country.
The US and human rights groups accuse the Sudan government of backing Arab militias who have committed atrocities such as systematic killing and mass rape against Darfur's black African groups.
The Sudanese government denies backing the Janjaweed militias, and blames rebels for starting the conflict.
The AU has some 1,400 troops and military observers in Darfur, trying to get both sides to respect a ceasefire signed last April.
A UN official has said some 9,000 people had fled their homes after the nearby village of Hamada was destroyed last week.
UN spokesman George Somerwill said up to 105 civilians were feared dead, but did not say whether the village was attacked by rebels, government forces or the pro-government Arab militias.
AU official Justin Thundu said military observers were investigating reports that pro-government Janjaweed militias were responsible for the attack.
The latest fighting has produced more refugees, the UN says
