1 hr confidence:
glued gypsum concrete blocks Explanation: I thought that this is what Ytong is selling, but that's apparently wrong. I'm not sure about breeze blocks, but I rather think that it's another kind of material, from which glued blocks are made. Eurodicautom gives 'gypsum concrete' (if one searches from Dutch or from German). Neither in Dutch, nor in English or German, I find the combination of 'glued blocks' and 'gypsum concrete', while both items exist on them selves in multiple variants.
