If you're hitting the concrete block the angle isn't low enough. If
there's furring attached to the concrete block, you will be able to
use a longer blade installed backwards in a sawzall. That will give
you the clearance you need.

If there isn't any furring between the concrete block and the wall
covering you could just infill the whole thing with plaster. Clean up
the loose edges and loose paper on the drywall and start plastering.
